* If you need additional help, visit my youtube account and see the videos
that I have created that supplements this walkthrough/FAQ. Depending on how
far you are at, I might have what you're looking for. If not, ask on the
boards, wait for the next update, etc... There is a chance that my video
walkthrough will bypass this walkthrough, so who knows.
* I do have all the warehouse solving vids done and uploaded if my
explanation wasn't clear in this. Hard to explain 2 layed warehouses.
This guide can not be used to make a profit. It can't be reproduced in

may save this guide on your computer or print it out, but it can't be
distributed without the knowledge of where this guide came from, nor who

This guide originates from Gamefaqs. Since there are many sites asking for
permission and I'm only here to help those in need, I'll grant those who
asked for it. Permission is granted for the following sites:
- Super Cheats
- UnlimitedGamer.net

Please use Ctrl + F (Control Find) to search the guide.
* This is only extended then before. Additional stuff that is found has not
been added since most people using it are near the end. It will be editted
much, much later. Hopefully, before December or so.
* Do not email me with correction or addons that I can make. I already have
a list of them, it's only the matter of finding it and actually adding it in.
Well, I guess only email me suggestion after 1.00 is released.
* I currently don't even have my 360 avaliable to play with. Not yet.
* Don't send me emails regarding the last section for the Grade FAQ. I need
to fix that, I know that.
* Oh, by the way. A few things that I should really add, but I'm not going
to bother with are the folling. This serves as a reminder to myself:
- Judith's Spear (Brionac List, the first event in Aspio is needed)
- Kow Kids (2nd to last part, must be done after rescuing E)
- Elucifer's Grave
- 2 Items in Heracules
- Overdrive Dolls, the last few (if I did miss any of them)
- Itemania and Monster Book's 50% triggers (Aspio and Nor)
- Grade Shop Info
- EX Dungeon + 200 Man Melee
- Bunny Guild (Haven't even joined yet)
- Sidequest Headers
- 100% Checklist Skeleton Addon (... Who knows when)
- Youtube Related Links Insertion Section: Up to Spirits
* Last thing, not going to bother with typos and what not. At least, not
until December. Don't like this walkthrough? Create your own. Use Brady's
walkthrough, and see how much info that piece of **** provides. ^_^

1) (Yet to be done)
As of right now, there isn't any guides for Tales of Vesperia. I'm only here
to give a brief description for those that want a guide of some sorts. As of
right now, I'm not finished with the game yet, but I have done a few tests
here and there making sure that I got everything. I will be post vids on
youtube showing my progress through the game. You can also use that series
of vids for your own reference. I made this guide without the help of any
other resources except for probably the users on gamefaqs' message board
for Tales of Vesperia. The Brady Strategy guide... I don't trust it. They
usually rush their printings to meet deadlines like always. What's good
about them? Pictures and a brief description of what to expect, but it
probably won't cover everything.
* Note, I've now completed the game 3 times. Almost done with Vesperia Master
English is my first language, but it's not the only one. So do expect
typos every now and then because I tend to think faster than I can type
and I hardly go back to read what I read, unless I find it needed. This
will probably be my first walkthrough for a Tales game. I've played
Tales of the Abyss before and I'm very familiar with the game's playing
style. Eternia and Rebirth, closely the same in someways.
This walkthrough will be done on Easy mode since getting achievements
doesn't depend on what difficulty you're on. I can only offer so little
in terms of strategy. I would say trial and error, level up, or just
did what I did. If this is your first Tales game or your first RPG, you
will just have to learn in order to enjoy the game. Most of my references
will come from Tales of the Abyss in contrasting. Don't be offended. If you
do feel so, read some other guide.
Don't read further into the game because there will be spoilers. However, if
you just got to that area, their names will only be substituted with a simple
letter from the alphabet. I'm trying to make this as spoiler free as possible
and if you see that I revealed something that could be spoilers, give me a
message on youtube or an "ATTN: KADFC" on the boards.
Also, if you're really stuck, I will probably provide a link of how I did it
myself. Be warned, these vids are full spoilers. You can find them, as well
as the playlist for them on my youtube account. For this walkthrough however
I will only provide 3 links for each area. You can probably find more help
by yourself if you look hard enough. It's the numbering system BTW.
Skits will be for one section. Then afterwards, I won't even bother stating
them. By then, you should already know if there's a skit available or not.
The chances for you to see all the skits is slim to none. Most likely, you
will have to wait a long time in that area for the skit to be optional to
you.

Controls and References
================================================================================
You will eventually get a battle tutorial on your first fight, so I don't
find the need to cover to mush detail, so I'll just type what I think is
needed. I think I'll just basically type out what the instruction manual
said while adding my personal thoughts in.

Better than using the Right stick. Learned it from TotA.

In summary. Use the Left stick to move your character everywhere. For a

Back Button Switch Control Mode between Manual, Automatic, and
Semi-Automatic*
Manual means you will be on your own controlling your character. Semi -
automatic means you'll be controlling your character, but you'll get
assistant. With this, you don't need to walk and attack, just press
attack and the character will move into and attack. Automatic means the
computer's AI will battle the enemy for you.
Also, I will use N (North), S (South), W (West), and E (East) to show you
where to go. Or you can think of it in this way:
N - I will use N, north, down. Anything that means head towards the
screen, therefore, you can see the character's face.
S - The total opposite of North and you should see the character's back
W - To the left (I will sometime say left as well as right)
E - To the right
The screen can't be shift, not counting the world map, so this way you know
what I'm talking about. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about and I
don't have to explain anything more.
WM = World Map
SR = Sorcerer's Ring
For the world map itself, there's actually North, East, South and West. So
just follow the compass or use the little map for your personal aide.
================================================================================
Tips and Early Heads Up
================================================================================
Read this part first. This is the soul of this guide. Tips means what you
should or should not do. Early heads up in terms of knowing things ahead of
time before you miss them. General knowledge which I hope to spread out.
Here goes:
1) Power of Holy Bottles:
For a cheap 300 Gald a Bottle, you can use this to bypass all random
battles on the field. However, stay too close to an enemy for 4 seconds
straight and you'll go into a battle with them. An enemy that fully
blocks your path can't be bypassed, you'll have to fight them.
2) Easy Mode
This guide is played on easy mode. Playing on Normal or Hard will not
give you any benefits, except a personal challenge.
3) No Good Boss Strategies
Since this is played on easy mode, there are no suggestions in terms
of how to defeat the bosses. I will give general tips if I feel the need.
4) Secret Missions
SM for short. All boss related battles have these. I will be covering
all of these and only expect these. Doing all secret battles is required
for getting a title. True Knight
5) Monster Collector and Item Collector
There's title given for both categories. This process starts at the
beginning of the game regardless if you have the actual thing or not.
Data for these are transfered into EX New Game.
Monster Collector
Use a Magic Lens on EVERY single enemy in the game. A lot of them are
missable. Event changes and boss forms. Go around and get into all
types of battles, hold RB to switch from enemy to enemy. If you do
not see their HP displayed, use a Magic Lens on them. Always double
check a boss (after secret mission triggers, situation changes).
Magic Lens are cheap and very affordable (10 gald for one)
Item Collector
Half it comes from doing the Monster Collector. By using Magic Lens
on enemies, it reveals what they drop or what you can steal from them.
The other half is from the shops. To get these, you will have to buy
one of each. Meaning, buy at least ONE of everything that they offer.
Things through Synthesis also count. So you have to create all of them.
This guide will offer assistance for the MC. IC is self explanatory.
* That portion has not been added yet. Coming Soon.
4) Do Not Sell Weapons and Sub Weapons
In this game, weapons and sub weapons are needed for each character
to learn skills. Synthesis also requires these. So pay close attention
because you might not have learned all of those before creating the
new weapon. Even if the weapon don't teach you skills, don't sell them
or you will regret it. You can sell all other equipments though.
5) Learn from Tutorials
A lot people skip them, but you do learn a lot from them.
6) Item Hater
It's a title earned for not using items during battle for part 1.
Using Magic Lens counts since it's used in battle. If you use them off
field, like Holy Bottle or Cooking, those don't count. You can also get
this title from just watching the skit. So, just get enough grades to
buy all the skits and just watch it in EX New Game to get the title.
7) Level Up, Gald, and Grade
I'm not here to suggest when to grind, as I find it not efficent.
Levels don't transfer to EX New Game. So once you restart the game again,
it will go back to 5. Grade's 10x EXP will aide you. Level should only
be grind if you're at the end of the game and tryig to gather materials
from the enemy.
Gald and Grade can be grinded later on using a specific method which is
proven to be faster than all other methods. Gald, Casino.
Grade, Tidal Wave.
Sidequests that involve donations (Orphange and Hot Springs) don't have
a deadline, so you can leave them until the end of the game.
7) Recepies From Wonder Chef
There's only one missable recepie in the whole game. That being the
first one and that's in Aspio. Even the deadline for this is huge and
it's really hard to miss. From entrance, left side and near the door.
All other recepies can not be missed.
8) Karolin Sword
This is a one time weapon from the storyline. You only get one of these.
It's used in synthesis for two different weapons, so choose wisely.
9) Sidequests
There's a huge chunck of stuff that is missable. Kouli's flow chart:
http://ameblo.jp/koulinovesperia/
Lists them all. So I suggest that you use this in combination with this
10) Giganto Monsters
Do Not kill any of them until you've talked to Rich and started the quest
itself. This is required to do the rest of the quest. Gigantos are huge
monsters that are way harder than normal field enemies. Each of them
will drop a rare item, which only they can drop. It's proven that all
Giganto Monster can be respawned. To spawn one, there's a few methods.
Save and reload your game, check. Go into the world map and come back,
check. Go two screens away and come back, check. I would have to say the
chances of respawning one is 5% or less.
11) Hunter's Monocule
When grinding for materials, levels, etc... always have this equipped on
one of the characters. It increases the chances for drops. This accessory
is obtained as you proceed into the game and you can synth this as well.
The effects do stack.
12) Moon Selector and Special Flag
Both items are made through Synthesis. Moon Selector can be obtained
through a storyline boss battle (Temza). Both are valuables.
Moon Selector: Use this to change controlling character during battle.
Press Y to go into menu, then press Start to change characters.
Special Flag: Use this to change the character that you control outside
of battle. Press Y into the menu, go down, and press X to switch.
13) Chests of the World
Getting 85% of all the chests in the game will get you a title. With that
being said, open all of them and take their items. Even if you're fully
stocked on them, still take them. Unless you want to backtrack and get
them again. I didn't do this, so I have to go through everywhere to get
mine in order to get this title. It was not fun at all.
================================================================================
Walkthrough
================================================================================
You'll need a hard drive or a memory card to save your game. You can play the
game with either of this, but you won't save your game nor get any
achievements, but you probably know that.
* Item Hater Title for Y. If you want this title, you can't use any items
in battle until a little bit after Part 1, when you're going back to Heliord
Time to start the game. You'll be given an explanation of how this world
works. Then you get a scene with your MC (Main character). Spoilers won't
take place until I know for certain that the name stated is far beyond from
what you should know.
T rushes in and talk to Y. Y is the person you're controlling. Watch the
scene. You'll be introduced into...

When you get control, press Back to see your First skit. This is your first
chat with R (which is in fact an animal of a certain type). Then you may head
S to save your game. Press A, then select a slot to save.
Head N and up the stairs to start a scene. After that, head N even more and
into the next area. Once you're there, make your way to the left. You see a
shop. Don't buy anything, not needed. You then encounter the Wonder Reporter.
After that, you'll get the Wonder Log.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional:
This is what I did, but you can completely ignore this because I like my
own controls. Press Y to open menu screen. To the very last thing
and into Configs. Set Battle Difficulty to Easy. Go to Button configuration.
Scroll up to Normal Attacks. Set Normal attacks to the A Button. This way
A is for normal attacks and B is for Artes.
Now go back to the main menu. Go into Artes. Go down and you'll see 4 slots.
The first slot have Azure Edge. Now put Azure Edge into all 4 slots. That
way you can be doing anything and once you press B, you'll use that arte.
Azure Edge is like... a long range fireball-like attack.
You can play with your equipment and skill menu, but there's nothing to do.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go more N and up the stairs, another scene. After that, go a little bit
north. Another skit can be scene. Go W and talk to the door of the home.
Proceed E and check the ground for a Magic Lens. Go the W side and enter
from that door.
Once inside, you'll see 2 paintings with candles. Check them to get
100 Gald and Magic Lens. Go up the stairs and talk to the leftest door.
A scene starts. Now head out S through the main doors.
Once outside, you'll encounter Tweedle A and Tweedle B (not their actual
names but nicknames). You'll need to battle them, which also comes with
the Battle Tutorial.
Learn what you can from the Tutorial. Or you can keep tapping Y to get
to the real battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #1:
Free Run close to draw them to attack, then do 3 attacks follow up with
an Arte. Basically, tap A 3 times and quickly press B. Azure has long
range, so make good use of that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, C shows up. The first letter actually starts with a C,
I'm not making it up. You'll be captured. After all of that talking,
you'll get the Prison Key, go trigger another skit, check your bed to
get an Apple Gel. You may save your game.
Head W. To the right of that sleeping guard, get Magic Lens. Proceed
a little to the left and check the boxes. You'll get your equipment back. Now
W to the next screen. You'll be forced into a battle instantly.
There's 2 guards on the bottom floor and 1 on the middle, none on top. Check
the boxes on the bottom floor on the left side for a Holy Bottle. On the
middle floor, boxes on the right, to get an Orange Gel. Then go the center
and into the tunnel/hallway. No enemies in here. Open the two chests for
Life Bottle and Cape. Talk to the statue if you want. Proceed back into the
place with 3 floors. Head to the top level and make to the W.
A scene and you'll be drawn into battle. After that battle, go N. Proceed
N and a small scene. Y smells something good. Go the E and enter. On the
SE, you'll see a painting on the right side, check near it to get an Egg.
On the E side, check the food to restore your HP and MP. Now back into
the main hall.
Head N and up the stairs. Go a little bit to the left and S to get a chest
with a Life Bottle in it. Now head W. Save your game.
Proceed south. After meeting a guard, go into the left and enter a hole.
Slowly go left and you see a chest, there's a guard nearby. 200 Gald. Head
back to the right into the hallway. Now south. Another scene. F's room is
mentioned. Go into F's room. A scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #2:
First part shouldn't be too hard. Attack 3 times and use arte. Free Run to
evade his attacks. After a while, second phase comes up.
- Second phase. He gets stronger with some added new moves as well. E joins
you for the battle. Also, there is where you get your Secret Mission #1.
You're suppose to protect E, but all I did was constantly attack Z until he
dies. E isn't suppose to take a certain amount of damage from this battle.
Unlike most SMs, there won't be a great until the end or so.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another scene. Now you're back in the hallway. Go back into F's room. Check
the northwestern closet for an Orange Gel. South central to find a chest
near the bed, Apple Gel. From that, go left to get a Holy Bottle. Now back
into the hallway. Now all the way south and then go left into the hole.
Another scene. Only one path, to the left hole. Then go north. Another scene
Trigger a skit. Go north. Right after the first guard, go to the right hole.
I guess you'll need to kill him. On the northeast side, trigger that to open
the gate. It serves no reason, just something to do. Go back into the
hallway. Proceed north now, and to the left hole.
Go south. There's a hole on the left side, not needed.
Instead, keep going south and enter the right hole. As you go to the right,
open the chest, Life Bottle. Open the gate if you want, but you'll probably
need to fight that guy. Go to the left and back into the hallway. Should
have the ability to trigger a skit. Head south and into that hole.
You should see an angel statue in the middle of the room, no guards on this
screen. Chest at northeast corner, Orange Gel. Northwest chest, Apple Gel.
Go to the left hole and talk to the angel. Head back to the first angel and
talk to it. Triggers a scene. Trigger a skit. Yuri will be standing on the
left side. Grab the angel and pull it to the left. Another scene. Climb
down. Another talking part.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No guards, but monsters now. You'll be forced into a "link battle." For all
of these monsters, use down normal to dispose of them. Another talking part.
Skit. Go to the right, chest at northeast corner, Life Bottle. Head back to
the left, and go south. You'll see a chest to the right, Magic Lens. Skit.
Now make your way all the way to the left. Then south, see a chest to the
south guarded by a monster, Apple Gel.
Go to the right. See two crates blocking a chest. Pull any of these crates
outward. I pulled the north one to the north. Get the chest, Holy Bottle.
Go south. Ignore the 2 crates, go the left. There's a chest, 200 Gald. Go
back to the 2 crates. Pull the left one to the north. Get the chest,
150 Gald. Go to the right, then south. When you can go to the right, do so.
There's a chest, Orange Gel. Proceed to the northwest corner and there's
ladder. Pull any crate to the right and climb the ladder. A scene. Quite
Funny.
Now you're outside of that house. Time to get back to the lower quarters.
Should be fairly easy. Keep on going to the east south direction. Keep going
that way. A scene. L, A, and B (LAB?) talks to you. Keep going south now.
A scene. Now go to Yuri's house. To the right of his bed, Orange Gel. Save.
Time to exit. From the save point, go north, then make your way to the south
east part to trigger a scene. You get a half-assed world map. As well as:
Orange Gel x4, Melange Gel x4, Life Bottle x4, Bread x4, Egg x2, and lastly
500 Gald.

Items Found In Area:
N/A - I'm not including Search Points. Those are just too out of the way.
Skit. Without moving the view, you'll see a bridge, cross that. Now you will
see a paved road. That's your way to the next area. However, before that,
as you're traveling along, to the right, you'll see a bunch of tents. They
call this "King of Adventure Travelers' Lodge." Which is basically an inn
on the roads that isn't apart of a city or town. There's a quite of few of
these, but it depends on if you want to use them or not. Karen and Rich are
the owners. Skit.
* KING OF ADVENTURERS: Encounter them twice to trigger their sidequest.
The first time is on the way to Deidon Hold.

Go the west, then south. You should be curving down. Now to the northeast to
see a bunch of crates, Magic Lens and Orange Gel. For starters, I went to
buy weapons for everyone just to make sure that I'm up-to-date. Chances of me
spending any more gald for weapons will be low because I will pick up all
possible chests. You decide. Go back to where you got your tutorial, and
head north and into the Guard Station, which has a door.
Once inside, go all the way north. Boxes on the right, Milk x1 + Egg x1. Go
a little bit south for a chest, Apple Gel. Climb the ladder to the north.

It's quite long. Skit. Go to the west, another scene. K is quite hawt or
at least she's my type. Skit. Exit Deidon Hold.
You'll now need to go North West. From Deidon Hold, to the west of that,
there's this entrance that brings you to a higher altitude. After that stay
away from the forest and keep on going west. As you keep on going, it's
in between two mountain ranges. Look for a forest whose trees are different.

needed and attack to stun him, or stay far away and spam Azure Edge

BOSS BATTLE #4
I guess a hard battle for some people. The hardest part isn't defeating
this boss, it's getting the Secret Mission. You'll have to lure the boss
in front of one of the flowers, then attack the flower to force it to spray
its stuff, therefore knocking the boss unconscious. Tips. Free Run like your
life depended on it and wait near a flower. Study his movements to know
what he's about to do something. Your allies would most likely get killed
in the process. Also, kill off his minions first. Blocking works most of
the time. Since mine is on easy mode, that seems to work better, but still
hard. I was at level 13~ I defeated him. Anyways, good luck.

After battle, scene. Skit. I would save, after that, go to the left. Then

BOSS BATTLE #5
This guy isn't hard on Easy Mode. However, we want the Secret Mission from
him and that can be hard to do. But there are a few tricks. The first one,
which I didn't use, is draw him to the edge of ship. Wait for him to do one
of his special attacks, then quickly get under him and use Overlimit. I did
it a different way. Force him into a corner with physical attacks. Perform
Wold Strike to knock him into the air. As soon as Wolf Strike's uppercut
connects, quickly use Overlimit to throw him off the ship. To win this battle
all I did was abuse Free Run and attack after he finishes attacking, use
Wolf Strike, run away and look for an opening. Blocking does help in
some ways, but I was felt like just pounding him with the good ol 3hit 1 arte
Or, get into OL, and keep attacking him with whatever you want.

Boss Battle #6 Gusios
As the battle starts, you only get to use Yuri. As time passes by, one
member joins up with you. You'll eventually get a party of 4. There is
a Secret Mission in this. I figured out a foolproof way to get it, but it
does take some effort. When he's trying to do his special attack, he will
stand on his two feet. During that time, go below one of his paws, jump
up to it, and do a normal slash. That should do it. There are other ways,
but I found this one most useful. Before that, stay close to him and
constantly be on block mode since all of his attacks are physical, except
for a few. Attack 3 times and guard works as well. Overlimit when you can.

Scene. From where you start, keep on going north. Scene. Go south and get
ready to battle. There's 2 battles. No strategy, just kill and win. Don't
you like how Yuri uses his artes? A few skits. Head north, then go west into
Tavern "Sagittarius" located on the north side. It's a building of course.
Go west and check the drawers in the middle by the wall a few times:
Panacea Bottle, Orange Gel, and Apple Gel. Go to the right side now, check
the drawers on the southeast corner a few times: Holy Bottle, Dark Bottle,
Limit Bottle. Now exit the Tavern and proceed west. Scene.
During the middle of the scene, another battle. Scene again. After that,
go east. Once at the 4 way fork, go north. Scene. Keiv Moc is it? Skit.
Go north and into Don's HQ (Guild Union HQ). Go a little bit north, but
then stay on the right side and talk to that thing. It's Wonder Chef and
for today we get to learn Minestrone Soup. Wtf is that... A few more skits.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to exit this place and go to the world map. Before that though, get
familiar with where the inn and shops are, there are clumped in one
section. Save your game as well. From the Inn, go west to exit this place
and back on the WM.
As soon as you're on the WM. There's a trail of forest. Follow it. It only
leads to one place and that place is where you're suppose to go to next.
Look for that extra green lump on your left

Items Found In Area:
Bastard Sword, Chain Wip, Estoc, Orange Gel, Weak Bottle x2, Rabbit's Foot
- Poison Bottle x2, Limit Bottle, Mind Bottle
Scene. R joins for some reason. Guess who R is? Skits. I suggest using a few
Holy Bottles if you're planning to get every chest in this place. The battle
here can come constantly, thus ticking you off. This place is quite weird,
well at least the first part. First part being before the save point. There
is a lot of stuff before reaching that spot. Anyways, enough of that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go up the only branch, scene. Head down and keep going down. Another scene.
Keep going down (down as in more into the earth, up as in more into the sky)
At the bottom, you'll get 2 chests, Bastard Sword and Chain Whip. Go back up
and take the left path. Scene. A 4-way, and you came from the east. Head
south and there's a chest, Estoc. Head west and also a chest, Orange Gel.
Now head north and you'll be in a 3-way. Don't get confused. If you go to
the right, you'll be backwards rather than forwards because that whole
part is a circle. So we should go to the left instead.
As you head to the left, we are given another 3-way. The south path leads
us to the save point and the west path leads us to more treasures. We
take the left path for now. This whole left path is a 1 way with 1
branching out at the end. As you keep going this path, you'll end up on the
ground and then it seems your going to the west. On the way there, you'll
meet up a huge plant creature. To the west of that creature, there's a
chest, Weak Bottle x2. Then hug to the east and keep hugging it to trail
you off to another route/branch to a chest, Rabbit's Foot. Now, if you can
proceed back north, up the branch, and to the that south route to where
the save point is. One screen south of that save point though, there's a
chest, Poison Bottle x2. Now go back north and save your game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From save point, there's a chest on the north central side. The chest is
a monster. Nothing special. The battle itself gives you 4000 Gald and
afterwards, a Limit Bottle. Head up the branch to the west. On the way there
stick to the left side for a chest, Mind Bottle, but I doubt anyone will
miss that chest. Keep on going west. Soon you'll arrive at a save point.
Save your game because there's a boss battle ahead.
Head toward the left (for a boss). Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #7
There is a Secret Mission for this battle. That is to use Raven's Serpent to
counter the boss from healing themselves. When the boss heals, green numbers
flashes. Serpent is like setting a landmine, well basically, it's a trap.
I know some people might say to use it near the water/puddle, and that's
also what I did as well, but I don't think that's needed. As long as serpent
can knock him down during his recovery phase, it counts. What I did was draw
the enemy near the pool, get next to it, and constantly set up Serpent like
a madman. If you do this one by one you'll need to time it and I'm an
impatient person, so setting up in a single blob and wait for him to him
works. He also needs to be at 23K HP or less in order for him to use
recovery. If you're going for the secret mission, I advice you to use items
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you'll need to walk out of Keiv Moc. Near the entrance, scene. Make
yourself to Dahngrest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dahngrest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save at the Inn if you want. Proceed to the Union's HQ, which is northeast
building in this place. Keep going north, scene. Try to exit the HQ and
proceed south, scene. Now go back into the HQ and go into the left, which
is the prison. Scene. Exit the HQ again and go south. Scene. Might want to
save now. Head to the right/east, where you previously couldn't the cavern.
Scene, a very good one, VA comes at the end. After some time, you'll end
up in...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tower of Gears - "Ghasfarost"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be sent into a battle by yourself (Yuri only). Not too hard. Block
and freerun as needed. Scenes after scenes. J is the hawtest person ever in
this game. Don't argue, she's the best. After that, from where you stand,
go to the right and enter that room. Save your game.

Go left to go back to where we left off. From there, go to the left until
you are on the wall, then to the north, scene. After that enter the SW door,
which is very close to you. You get your equipments back. Scene. Now open
that chest directly left of Yuri, Pineapple Gel. Now chest the table at the
center of the room on the left, Life Bottle. Exit back to the right. Make

is a chest to the north, Specific. Check the NE section, Magic Lens x3.
Go left to exit out.
Go to where that shop guy is. To the left of him is this machine, SR it to
activate it. A set of stair is lowered down. Use these stairs. Go south,
scene. There are 3 south exits, take one of them and don't go into a battle
while trying to do so. Scene.
Now head north and back into where you came out of. There are 3 enemies on
the south side (which is where you are at right now), and 1 enemy to the
northside. Make your way to the left side and enter the NW door. Check the
upper left, Leather Coat. Exit to the right. Go through the north side and
there's a chest on the north, Battle Suit. I forgot to mention another chest
and that chest is on the SW side close to the bat enemy, Crescent Axe. I
went back down to save, your call.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head back up to the place where you joined up with everyone. If you're
wondering, you should head south and you should be outside of this castle.
There's 2 ladders, one to your left and right. Take the right one and go
up. Go north to find a chest, Rivet Belt. Go left and check he boxes,
Holy Bottle x3. Now go north.
Now here is the fun part. Go to the upper right of the bottom floor, scene.
Before I go any further, listen. Each screen has many floors. I'll number
these floors. The lowest floor will be the first floor, the next one up is
the second floor, and so forth.
After that scene you'll need to use the SR to activate/move these
gears/parts Go to the left, scene. Go up these stairs. To the left should be
an enemy, and nearby it is a chest, Kurama. Go right and head up to the 3rd
Floor. Go to the right and SR the machine on the North. Go to the left and
go to the 4th Floor. Go to the left and SR the machine there. Go the right,
which has an enemy, and there's a chest nearby on the right, Orange Gel. Go

to the north. Go to the 4th floor and go up to the next screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the left and take the stairs up to the 2nd floor. Chest north of the
stairs, Blue Dragon. Go to the 3rd floor and another chest nearby the
stairs, Wizard Horn. To 4th Floor, scene. Go to the 2nd Floor, go to the
right, enemy nearby, SR the machine on the south. Which activates a path.
Go to the 3rd floor, go the right, to the north, and activate the machine
on the left. Down to the first floor, a new path has opened up on the
right. Go to the north to find this spinning blue and white, star-like thing
This is Wonder Chef, he'll teach you Salad in this dark dreary place. How
nice. Then SR the machine to the right. To the 2nd Floor, and SR the north
machine on the left. Go north, west, south, and SR the other machine, which
is the south machine on the left. To the 4th Floor and go all the way to the
left. A little bit to the south and SR the machine on the right. This
extends the path you now stand. Go more south and activate that other
machine nearby. Now head up to the next screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On first floor with a chest on the NE side, Holy Cloak. Up to the 3rd Floor
and to the right. Head North and SR the machine on the left. Down to the
2nd Floor and go to the right, enemy nearby. All the way south, SR the

elevator/door. Don't go into it yet, boss is up ahead. Do some preparations
and might want to save. Now go up. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #8
The secret mission for this battle is as simply and easy as it gets. Set
your targets to one of those "greenish orbs" that surrounds this area. There
is 4 of them total. While you do these, freerun away from minions or even
the boss. If it is the boss, attack a different one. I used Azure Wolf
Strike along with a 3 hit combo to take each one of them out. After that,
you'll get the SM. If I was to play this battle again, I'll probably do it
even if I didn't need the achievement simply because it eliminates more
minions coming in. After those 4 are taken down. Concentrate on the mages,
then whatever is left. The boss does have a ground pounding attacking. Free
Run away when needed. Don't forget about Overlimit and Burst Artes. I don't
like his Hammer Roll. Keep pounding him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, scene. Then:
Achievement Unlocked: 100G Recovered the Aqua Blastia
Therefore, it means Part 1 is done. Time for Part 2 now.
Need you'll to go back to Dahngrest. To do that, you're on the sand like
area. Look for the green area. There is a bridge that connects the two pieces
of lands. Then keep going west.

Part 2

Dahngrest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once back, scene. Go to the left. Now go rest at the Inn. Save your game
as well. Scene, very long. Now you're outside the Inn. Go south. Scene. Now
your on the bridge. Exit to the WM. Stop! Don't move! Go back into Dahngrest
right now. Scene. Return to the WM and make your way to Heliord. You'll get
a lot scenes on the way there, as well as skits.
If you're on the resting area, talk to everyone. Then talk to Repede again,
pick the option to rest. Now head to Heliord.

Scene. Go to the Inn. Save and stay at the inn. Scene. Exit the Inn. Go the
left to find Judy. Scene. Exit Inn, go to the Blastia. Scene. I personally
save right now because I want to see the scenes offered. There's 3 options
to pick, just remember that. Anyways, talk to the guard. Now pick between,
Estelle, Judy, and Karol. All three scenes are good in their own ways. Plus
each comes with their own skits as well. Now go to the Inn and talk to the
shop keeper. Scene. Now you need a few items before you can continue. I
already have these items from battling previously. These items are:
1 Soft ball (or was that a Soft tail?)
1 Basilisk Scale
1 Small Bird Feather
I already had all 3 of those and you can test it too by just talking to
the shop keeper afterwards. Scene. Now go talk to the guard south of the
Balastia. Depending on who you pick, you'll get a different scene. After
that, the scenario splits into two options: Yuri or Karol. Same thing as
before, different outcomes in some ways, as well as skits. I personally
picked Karol both times just for the fun of it. If you picked Yuri, it
will automatically continue. If you picked Karol, you need to go to the
HQ to the right. Scene. Head back to the blastia. Scene. Save if you're
unsure about yourself, battle up ahead. Take the elevator down to the
working field. No items, boo! Head to the SE section. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #9
No SM for this battle. Take the minions out first. Then concentrate on
the boss. I don't like his gun. Overlimit, Burst Arte, and Fatal Strike
whenever possible. Shouldn't even be hard with Free Run abuse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, scene. You'll need go to Torim (Port Town). Make your way
to the south, and keep on going east. If you're doing it right, you should
be near the ocean and on the southern part of the continent. Keep going
east and you should be able to use a bridge to get out of the forest. If
you see a mountain range, the bridge is likely to the right of it. Once you
cross the bridge, scene. Everyone is hungry! Keep going east. Enter Torim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capua Torim 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. Go to the right, pass the inn, shop, Fortune's HQ, and to the right
of that should be a tree with a lady standing next to it. Talk to her, scene
Now go left and back into the Inn. Save if needed. Rest at inn. Scene.
Everyone is thinking. You need to go to each of them and talk to them before
going through to the rest of the game. Here it goes:
- Karol: Right room of the inn. Very obvious.
- Rita: Left room of the inn
Exit Inn
- Repede: Left of Inn's entrance
- Estelle: SE of the Inn. Bottom area
- Judith: Try to exit Torim from the west. Remember this habit.
- Raven: Way far to the right. Left Docking Bay
After that, head back into the inn and rest. Scene. Exit inn. All the way
to the right. Scene. Keep going to the right. Another scene. One of my
goddesses has returned. Now go to the left Docking Bay and talk to her.
After that, talk to her again and pick yes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiertia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not hard to control at all. It's the same thing as when you're running on
the world map. Only difference from what I can see is RT moves you forward
and LT move you backwards. Besides that, nothing new. The quest itself is
linear. Very linear. Head south. Scene. Get ready to battle.
I got no strategy against Mermans because to me, they're like going into
a random battle. Too easy in my case. Keep going south and the area would
slowly get more and more foggier/mister. Scene. This is getting exciting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ghost Ship - "Atherum"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene keeps on going. I like this. No escape! No! After that, save. You
will be forced to use Yuri, Repede, and 2 other members of your choice. The
only difference in this case are the skits they share with Yuri from my
testing. Repedge and Yuri will have a skit no matter what you do. Yuri can
partner up with Estelle, Karol, Judith, and Raven. To get these to work,
you need to pick them first. If you saw one of them, you can't repick them
to see the other one. However, you can reload your game to see the other
ones and you'll need to repick them again. From my test, it's impossible
to get a Yuri + Rita combo. I hope the skit from the Grade Shop can prove
me wrong.
As for who I pick, I added Estelle and Raven. Estelle to heal and Raven
because I don't want that many casters left behind. Overall, your other two
members don't matter because I'm using Holy Bottles for this whole entire
place. I don't enjoy these battles at all even though I can win. Anyways,
lets move on.
Pick your party. Restock items (for me, 15 Holy Bottles). Skit. Use a Holy
Bottle. BTW, Holy Bottles last for a limit amount of time. I played this
area a few times to know where the chests are. That's what I've been doing
throughout this whole game thus far. I like hard battles on easy mode.

Okay, you're on the ship. Go to the left and use the stairs. Near the stairs
is a chest, Ogre Sword. Go back down and move all the way north to see a
chest, Trident. Go to the central of this ship and find the hole on the
right side (which is the cabin if you will). Now go all the way through
the hallway. Another hallway with an apparent chest, Lemon Gel. Keep going
to the right through another hallway. That's 3 so far.
A room with a set of stairs. Under those stairs on the south side is a chest
with Orange Gel. Go to the NE side and hug the east wall, Life Bottle. Now
take the right door. From where you are, go north and hug the west wall for
two items, Magic Lens x3 and Seal Bottle. Take the left door back to the
room with the stairs. Use the stairs and go up. Another stair going up.
There's a chest under the stair on the south side, Snipe Xiphos. Take the
left door.
Walk to the south, then to the left. This is a kitchen. Check the left side
for Rice x1, Dried Seaweed x1, and Salmon x1. I wonder if the whole ship
is a refrigerator or something. That's the only reason I came up with. There
are more items in this room, but invisible enemies block your way. So go
back to where the door is. Go north, then west, then south to a chest...
Whoops, it's a monster, forgot to mention that. Block when needed and fairly
easy battle. Well it does give you a Specific after the battle. Now use the
right door to exit out.
Head to the NE room. If you're using Holy Bottle, you'll have to go north
and maneuver yourself to the left and right, then quickly to the south
to get a chest, Takemikazuchi. Now exit with the left door. Use the stairs
to go up. Go to the SE door. Check the left side of desk, Holy Bottle, nice
I love these. Exit to the left. There's a chest under the stairs on the
north side, Limit Bottle. Now take the left door (the stairs don't go any
higher, don't be fooled). Keep going to the left. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, time to use the members that you didn't take with. Restock Holy Bottles
if needed. Save before seeing any skits. You only get one shot and they are
always random. "I'll save them" is Karol's skit, and "Sounds like fun" is
Judy's skit. That's all I know for right now. Reload to see all. Now go
north and onto the ship.
Near the hole to the right, there is also a ladder. Use the ladder. At the
top is a chest, Seal Bottle x1, Limit Bottle x1, Specific x1, Treat x1. If
you've been here before, you wouldn't see this path extension. Take this
new path. The reason I didn't get these before is because climbing the
ladder takes time and that is wasted on my Holy Bottle's time and I'm going
go up here anyways, so why bother? Take this new path to the right. Keep
going to the right, then use the southern ladder to go down. Enter the
door to the right of the ladder. Open the obvious chest, Pineapple Gel.
Another chest on the north end, Melange Gel. Exit this place. Use the door
to the north/right. Go through this hallway. Another hallway with a chest,
Matt x1.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reunion scene. Save point under the stairs. Use the left door. Chest on the
south, Limit Bottle. Hug the walls until you get to the NE chest, Orange Gel
Use the stairs and go up. Check the NE's bookshelves, 4000 Gald. Go to the
right. Scene. Check the desk in the middle of the room, Seal Bottle. Check
the SE side along those desks, Pirate Hat. Now up the ladder to the north
side. There's a chest on the east, Holy Symbol. Now back down the ladder.
Talk to the corpse, scene. Get ready for a battle. No difference from the
other random battles that you've encountered in this place. Scene.
Use the left door. Check the NW side, scene. Go down the ladder. Use the
ladder on the upper left. Check the SE side and use the ladder. Go back
on board the Fiertia, scene.

14) Go to the right side and talk to the Warehouse Keeper. Another one, yes.
For this one, there are teleporters, T, and you use your SR to hit the

(Kebab Sandwich)
The location of this place is somewhat hard to describe. Let's just say, go
go to where the Ghost Ship is and head SW from that place. A lot more south.
You can tell the place by the blastia ring that's around it. I believe there
is also fireworks near it. Also, if it's getting darker and darker, you're
getting hotter and hotter. Scene.
Go to the left, then a little bit south. Fine a guy close to a boiling pot,
talk to him. Another of Judith's Spear Quest. Head back to the right and
talk to Tokunaga, scene. Now make yourself to the north. After the wooden
bridge, talk to the guy on the right. Scene with Drake. Keep going north and
enter the main door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save Point. All the way to the right, north into another door. From entrance
go to the right. Wonder Chef will teach you Kebab Sandwich. Go north up the
stairs and talk to the guy on the left (big weapon), scene. South to exit.
Talk to the lady near the save point. Stay at the inn. Scene. About the
meaning of Vesperia. All the way south, pass the coliseum doors and keep
going south, scene. Talk to the couple to the right of the boiling pot,
scene. Go back to the coliseum and stay at the inn, scene. Shining Eagle
learned by Yuri.
Go to the main counter of the coliseum (place with 3 girls), talk to Regaey
on the right. Scene. Go back out and save your game, SM ahead and you don't
want to regret it. Go back to the main counter and go up the stairs. Scene
with Duke. Talk to the middle girl, join the battles. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be 3 weak battles before you get the main event. All 3 weak
battles can be easily done with normal attacks and free run. Block works
as well and they don't deal that much damage. Heal when needed.
There's a surprise twist in who the main eventer are. Clue?
"It's the hearthrob with the steely gaze!"...
For this battle, you can do whatever you want. However, I've figured
something interesting. There's 2 ways to end this.
1) Yuri's HP reaches 1 or you deal a certain amount of damage to him
2) Each battle has a certain amount of time. Free Run until time runs out.
Scene in-between and afterwards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #10
To get the SM for this battle, it's quite simple. Keep guarding/blocking.
Your allies will deal enough damage for him to recharge his arm. For my
battle, splash from Rita seems to recharge him. Let him keep charging it
until you get "Great." Then begin your assault. I would stay away when he's
in OL mode. Use your own OL and Burst Arte. Fatal Strike whenever possible
- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ----------------------------------------
After battle, scene. There's a few monsters on the fields. Kill 2 of these
groups of monsters, scene. Try to exit coliseum, scene. Save. Go all the
way south (left), scene, and exit Nordopolica. Like always, follow the paved
road to get to a cavern.

Scene. Drawn into a battle against 3 enemies from Leviathan. Scene.
Go forward. Chest to the left, of where a certain someone was at,
Seal Bottle x3. Then to the right an enemy block a chest, Limit Bottle. As
you keep going further, it will split into 2. Path down and path up. Take
the right path down. Chest blocked by enemy, Mighty Guard. Now take the path
to the left.
Path split into 2 again. Take the lower path down. There's a Giganto
blocking a cave. Get ready to battle it. Drill Hermit I think it's called. I
defeated this guy and I didn't get my achievement. Use Fatal Strike always.
I don't have much strategy on this guy. Overlimit with many strikes works.
I used Yuri, Rita, Karol, and Judith. I would replace one of them for
Estelle for the healing though. I wasn't prepared, but I still won.
- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ----------------------------------------
The cave that Giganto has a chest (to the hidden left), Verbena. Get out
of the cave and go to the right that has a chest, 8000 Gald. How go to the
left and back up and take the upper path. Another split. Take the lower
path to an enemy blocking a chest, Spike Bow. Go into the cave now.
Two paths again. Take the right path down and around. Two chests near the
end, War Harpoon and Aquamarine. Go to the left, and take the left path up
and around. To the very south of that path is a chest, Avenger's Scroll.
Go a little bit more, scene. Keep going for a Save Point. Save.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the save point, go north up to a chest, Jiralya. Back to save point,
to the right. A split, take the right path to a chest, Spine Ripper. Take
to the left path and another split. Take the right path and around to a
chest in the cave, Silver Circlet. Now go back and take the left path,
blocked by an enemy. After that continue the path. All the way up to a save
point. Save game now. I would suggest Yuri and the 3 girls. Adjust
equipment accordingly. Get ready for a boss battle. Go to the left, scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #11
This boss has 2 forms. The huge cloudy form and "Split" (up) form. We begin
with the cloudy form. Go up to it guard and attack. As time goes by, it will
use "Split." In Split form, I see... 8 or 9 bats? This is where the SM comes
in. You may not like this, but this does make the battle a little bit easier
or at least I think so. Set your target for "Leader Bat" and do whatever
you can to kill him first. Tap R2 to get the target closes to you. What I did
was constantly attack with UP normal hits to do most of my damage. I also
suggest equipping the Recover skill. Keep attacking it until it goes down.
You'll get "Great." Name aim for one Magic Bat after another and do the same
thing as before. Azure Wolf Strike when they are on the ground works as well
Dragon Swarm, o yeah. Rita will take care of the rest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene after battle. Before you exit to the WM, head back to where the first
Save Point was. From there go right to get a scene with Duke. Go back to
where the boss battle ended. Check the lower left for a chest, Simple Tent.
Check the west for a hidden chest, Silver Hat. Now go north and into the WM.
Find the obvious town and go into it.

2) Karol. South of Inn's entrance
3) Raven. Left of Inn's entrance, near the shop
4) Judith. Keep on going to the left/west from the shop
5) Estelle. Very north, near the oasis
A few more things to do. From where Estelle was, look to the right to find
a guard with 2 trees to the right of it. A cactus in a pot? It's Wonder Chef
and he'll teach you Curry. Wonder Reporter is here as well. Talk to the left
tree while you're standing to the north. Very well hidden huh? At first, I
thought that trigger was for talking to the guard. Attempt to go back to the
Inn, scene. Now go stay at the inn, scene, followed with another scene. You
will a lot of items, each for one personal. The only one I recall is the
expensive one.
Get out of the Inn and head toward the oasis, scene. Go back to the inn,

Scene. Okay, this is based on my personal testing. I might've missed a few
things, but o well. This is a general mapping of this place. It's quite huge
and this isn't drawn to scale. What else... SR the cactus to get more water.
The bigger the cactus, the more water you get. However, if you constantly
use Holy Bottles to get through this place, going without water isn't a
problem. Without water, your HP will start depleting. Yet, it won't ever
go below 1 HP.
After the first half, scene. Oasis, save point. The longer you stay
in the desert, the more skits you get. There's like 4 or 5 total. At the
oasis check the lower tree's chest, Rapid Shot. Check the lower left of the
oasis, Air Stone x3. To the left of the save point a chest, Riot. Save. Do
not go further yet. Hate to say this, but I'll need. Go back to Mantaic and
once again, stay at the inn. Scene. This is required for a future SM. More
reason to do this. After this. Restock Holy Bottles and head back to the
oasis in the desert.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter into the Second Half after saving at the Oasis again. I decided to
tackle the Giganto monster because I've skipped a lot of enemies on the
way here. By defeating this enemy I can get myself up to date with a fair
amount of EXP. Let see... Yuri + 3 Girls + Free Run + Overlimit + Attack
Azure Wolf Strike + Fatal Strikes (!) + 15 Life Bottles = Win. After winning
go back and save.

BOSS BATTLE #12
This battle is like a flying stingray. I'm not impressed with most of his
attacks. When the battle field is daytime, he's weak to Water and absorbs
Fire. When the battle field is nighttime, he's weak to Fire and absorbs
Water. That Flameberge for Yuri is great when it's night. If not, equip
something else. Use overlimits like crazy, Azure Wolf Strike, Dragon Swarm,
etc... If you're going for the SM though, that's where the boss' orb comes
to action. When he does that move to change from day to night and night to
day, you need to attack that orb that comes from his mouth. A few ways that
people suggest are using these skills to reach the enemy: Yuri's Severing
Fang, Judith's Up Normal, Tractor Beam. As long as you hit the orb a few
times and it'll explode. I, however, was very frustrated and I had no other
choice then to use Tractor Beam, which was learned in battle. In my method,
equip Flameberge on Yuri and have the AI attack when it's night, and attack
with Aqua Blast when it's day. Just by these actions, it will force him to
show his Orb. With some timing, Tractor Beam can destroy the orb.

BOSS BATTLE #14
This battle, honestly, is the first time that I lost twice in a row. I was
not prepared both times, but I soon was. In the process of doing so, it was
actually pretty easy. Oh, yeah, the SM for this battle. When T uses his
attack called 'Dragon Blade: Advent,' he sticks his arm onto the ground
and 3 yellow snake comes out. Before this move ends, attack him. That takes
care of 1/2 of the SM. Now for the other half. When N uses an attack called
'Rending Slash,' she is stuck on the ground for a certain amount of time.
Her body is like stuck to the ground and her feet struggling to get up.
Attack her quickly to get this SM. Trigger both 'Great's and the SM is
yours. You do have to win the battle for it to count though. To win this
battle though, I suggest to take out N first since she can revive her
partner in the process and she can also use First Aid, which can make the
battle longer than needed. It's possible, but bothersome. I suggest using
using Burste Artes with OL slashes constantly. I used Dragon Swarm in the
process as well. Good luck.
Into the cave and a scene will trigger. Your ship will not have an
attachment that will greatly increase the ship's capabilities. Save.

Ready to try the new attachment? It's quite the same thing as with

what I thought when I first used it. Okay, here are some of the new
features:
1. Click the Left Stick to land or fly
2. Weather and environments don't affect where you can go.
3. However, that doesn't mean you can land anywhere. Land on flats and water
4. Ba'ul can pick you up and bring you onto the ship while you're standing
on any land itself. It can't pick you up on ice however or land there.

- Waiter/Waitress Mini-Game:
Head to Dahngrest and into the West Cavern. Scene. Talk to the middle
bartender, scene. Time to do the Waiter/Waitress mini-game. I've did it with
everyone and it's easier than you think. Each person has 3 levels that they
must complete in order for them to get their Costumes. Tips? Well for one,
you don't have to pay attention to the customers' signs. That doesn't matter
at all. Doing it faster wouldn't get you anything. The whole point in this
game is to order the right amount, the right type, and bring it to the
right customer. If I were you, use a paper/pen to write down whatever they
have to say. Later on, actually say out loud what they ordered and how many,
then read the next part. If they canceled it, then don't write it down.
Order the right stuff next and bring it to the customer. I actually used
3 pieces of paper because I didn't want to read something that I wrote
down a long time ago. Also, it would be nice to remember certain parts of
the order so that you don't have to write down the full name. Last tip, take
your time writing everything down. Pausing won't make a difference,
Good luck
(Note: I think Judith's costume is the best. Bias, I know)
- Judith: Glamorous Maid
Rita: Kitty Cat Waitress
Estelle: Gracious Waitress
Karol: Lunch Lady
Raven: Gentleman
Afterwards, you'll get a lot of skits regarding these costumes.

- Well, since we have Ba'ul now. Now is the earliest time to do the Dog Map
quest. Here is what you do and yes, this can seem long or it can take
forever. Look at the world map via menu. Press Y to open the Dog Map. Red is
an enemy's and blue is yours. You have to claim more land for Repede, thus
beating the other dog out. You travel around the whole world and use Matts,
Tents, Barriers, etc.. to rest at each single area to claim that land for
yourself. That's a lot of places. You can't use these staying items
constantly though. The fastest way I see it is use Tent, get into a random
battle, use tent, etc.. You don't have to win these battles, just go into
one. It took me about an hour to get enough territory to trigger a scene
with the enemy. I would have to say that I covered a little bit more than
50% in order to trigger this scene. (NOTE, I was told you can do this at
the end of the game.)

are awful. Very Awful. It's no where close to where the real location is.

"I'm pretty sure it's on the west side of Hypionia, to the south of here."

As you go north, hug the right to a chest, Panacea Bottle. North again and
take the 2nd left to find a chest, Gaia Cleaver. Now make yourself to the

with the north path and keep going. You'll end up at a save point, save.

path. 3rd Split, left and right. Go left to a chest, Mythril Circlet. Now
use the right. You'll run into a Giganto. I rather leave it be for now. I
used a Holy Potion to get by it. Keep going and to a chest, Mythril Boots.
Keep going, and to the next screen.
4th Split, north and southeast. Take the SE first. End up with 2 monsters,
both guarding a chest. You'll have to defeat them in order to claim their
chest. Left chest has Lavender, right chest has Red Saffron. Now go back up
and take the north path. 5th Split, left and right, with 2 very noticeable
chests for each side. Right chest has Sage, left chest has Overdrive Warrior
Now make your way all the way back to the save point. Save.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go north and prepare for a few battles, both of which are the same exact
thing. These guys seems to be a little bit stronger than before. There are
only two battles. Scenes. Now, see that jellyfish-like object floating in
the air, approach and enter it.

Now this is pretty much self-explanatory. Get the chests if you want. They
are in those rooms. I could give you the location of each, but you should
get some fun once and a while. I do want to say one thing though. In the
YD, aka Dark Room, purposely jump off to reach H in the BF3 floor. Do this
3 times total. This will trigger a scene in which you'll obtain this key item
called 'Magic Lantern.' With this, all rooms like this will be so bright
forever. So no more eerie Dark Rooms. This item could be missable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #15
His attacks are the same as before. Whatever he used before, he uses in this
battle as well. There's nothing really hard about this boss compared to a
normal human boss. The SM for this battle, is another story. You'll have to
wait until he uses his Mystic Arte 'Blast Heart' and then attack him while
he's trying to recover. For him to use Blast Heart though, he has to be in
OL form. Chances are higher when he is in his 2nd OL, but for battle, he
only used it during his 3rd OL (Overlimit if you didn't already know). So
until then, you'll just have to attack him or guard. If you're killing him
too fast, equip a weaker weapon and combo him constantly to charge his OL
bar. Another thing that you probably want is the skilled called Recover.
Once he gets into OL form, stay very close to him. After Blast Heart is over,
you should see him grasping his heart. Quickly break his shield and add one
more attack to get the SM. If you don't see him grasping the heart, you'll
have to wait again for Blast Heart to come out.
Quote: "Burn this life to punish my enemy. Blast Heart!" Aagh! Excellent!
Scene after scene. You now need to find Heracles. This so called battleship
is in the ocean SW of the capitol, Zaphias. Hopefully you can manage to
trigger the scene. I suggest you rest somewhere first. Your HP/MP might be
very low right now and for some reason, it doesn't automatically recover for
you after the last battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mobile Fortress - "Heracles"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. Immortal Old Man title obtained. I was extremely mad in this place,
you don't even know. I was just persistent ftw. Head down to the left stairs
and you see Tweedle A and B there. Talk to one of the Tweedles, they should
be selling items etc... Me, I got maxed out Holy Bottles of course.

Naginata, Life Bottle, Limit Bottle
- Holy Bottle, Melange Gel, Wonder Symbol, Lemon Gel, Pineapple Gel
- Dark Bottle, Rose Whip, Specific, Tent
- Panacea Bottle, Treat
- Guardian Stamp
- Lemon Gel, Pineapple Gel
From where the shop is, go to the right to find a chest, Naginata. Now go
all the way to the left and down the stairs. All the way to the left, down
the stairs again. Once you get there, go to the right for a chest,
Life Bottle. Proceed to the left, down the stairs. Keep going to the right
to get a chest, Limit Bottle. Go to the left and enter that red door. You
should now be inside. Now go north to trigger a scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go left to find the first room. Talk to it, and you'll get constant signs
of '?' To get rid of that, just SR the door to unlock it. Go inside that
room. Chest on the right, Holy Bottle. Check the left bed's left side,
Reflex. Exit out. Continue to the left to see 2 more doors.
Right Door: Chest with Melange Gel
Left Door: Wonder Symbol on the upper right
Continue with the south stairs. To the south of those stairs, you'll see
a ladder. Climb down. To the right for a chest, Lemon Gel. Back up the
ladder and keep going to the left to find another ladder. Chest to the left,
Pineapple Gel. Up again. Talk to the machine to the left, select Move. Enter
the second door to the right, the very big one. There should be a scene, if
not, you got the wrong door. There's a save point at the very bottom floor,
just to let you know ahead of time, but don't go down there just yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, from where we left off after the scene, take the leftest door. Chest
on the very left side, Dark Bottle. Exit out. Use the south stairs and go
down. Below the first set of stairs, there is a room to the right, SR it and
go in. Check the upper right, Rose Whip. Continue to the bottom floor and
get to the save point. Check the upper and right side of the save point,
Specific. Go up the south stairs (where all the guards are), then check the
right side for a chest, Tent. Of course, if you're not using a Holy Bottle,
then you might as well go this chest later on, since you'll be passing
through here eventually. Now save your game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go all the way to the top floor and take the right door. You'll be
outside now. Go to the right for a chest, Panacea Bottle. Up to stairs, then
up another set of stairs. Don't go up yet, there's a chest on this floor and
it's on left side, Treat. Now go up the stairs and use the red door on the
right. You're back side again. Go to the right and keep going to the only
path. Don't use the ladder yet, keep going on this level and use the door
on the left.
To the south is this yellow-aura machine, SR it and make it explode. Go
north and up those stairs and exit to the right. To the right you'll
see a box. Push this box to the left and keep pushing even on the next
screen. There's this gate blocking your box from dropping down, SR it, and
push the box once more. Another machine explodes. Okay, to the left of
south stairs that we just used recently, you'll find a ladder, use it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the left. Go up the next ladder (not down). Chest near the top,
Guardian Stamp. Move south. This is a game. SR the box when you think that
when it drops, it'll crush that machine at the very bottom. Do so and
another piece of the barrier is removed. Use the ladder and go back down.
Go to the left, hug south to find this ladder, use it. If you look closely
at the lower level, there's another machine and just so happen there's boxes
moving on top of it. Time the SR to make the box hit that one as well.
Remember this section well, we'll be coming back here sooner than you think.
Let's call this section QW.
Now climb back up to where all the barriers walls were at. Defeat the mage.
Talk to the computer panel once. Now go back to QW. From there, take the
south ladder. There's a computer panel near the bottom of those ladders.
Talk to it and pick "Upper Level." Climb back to the upper level and go
west to where that moveable floor is at. You'll see a box. Push the box
all the way to the NW side. Then push the box over to the SW side, which
should break the machine in the process. Therefore, the last piece to the
puzzle has now been solved. Head over to that area now. There's a save point
nearby. I suggest you save. Boss and SM is next
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #16
This guy is faster than usual. Some of his attacks are hard to stop. Be
cautious when he get into his OL mode. Keep comboing and pounding him down.
Sooner or later, he'll use 'Poison Perfume' on himself. His attacks now will
inflict Paralyze. Okay, here's the SM for this battle. Use Nice Recovery
Smash next to Zagi to cure him of his poison. If you don't have Moon
Selector right now, you'll need to start the battle and control Karol. Karol
is the only one that can do this SM. After that, just finish him off.
(Nice Aid Smash =/= Nice Recovery Smash)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene after battle. There should be a item nearby, but maybe I thinking too
much. Anyways, exit out. All the way south and use that unfolded ladder. The
main place you're going to is to the first Save Point that we used in this
place. Whatever works for you, I already said the shortcut. Before going to
that save point, scene. Enter the door to the right, aka Engine Room. Use
the elevator and go up, scene.
It's a circle and you're at the bottom central of it. Go to the left to get
a chest, Lemon Gel. All the way to the north now, scene. There's a chest
on the right side as well, Pineapple Gel. All the way right to exit this
place. Scene after scenes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capua Nor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After all of that, you're here now. Save. Exit the inn, scene. Go back into
the inn and talk to Judith, scene. Exit Capua Nor. We need to go to the
Blade Drifts of Zopheir (Zopheir for short from now on).
Go get there keep going east and north at the same time. Another way to say
it would be north of Ehmead Hill's entrance. Just make sure you're
constantly going north in the process. As you keep going, you'll see a lot
of glaciers (aka flat layers of ice). Keep find the right path to go and you
will end up in Zopheir.

Scene. First go north. There's a chest to the left/north side, Tabar. Go
north again, and there's another chest on the left side as well, Panacea
Bottle. Keep going north to encounter another chest, Melange Gel. Try to
go any further on and that creature will do some destruction. Scene.
Go south and back to where you got your first chest. From there, go east.
Another chest on the north side, Lemon Gel, Keep going to the east. The road
will split into 2, north and south. Take the north. Encounter a chest, Limit
Bottle. Keep going on this path, more destruction. Scene
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the south, there's a chest, Pineapple Gel. Go onto the newly made path.
A split into two, use the north path. There's a chest on the path, Hades.
Keep going north to see two chests, Cure Bottle and ... destruction. Other
chest has Falcon Needle. Now go back and take the south path. As you keep
going, another split. South path for a chest, Life Bottle. To the east to
find a save point. Save needed. Watch the scene afterwards before reading
any further down. Doing so means you'll be reading spoilers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #17
As the battle starts, you'll only get to use Karol and no one else. Karol
will be by himself and you need to stay alive. There's a lot people saying
they can't get pass the first part, which is this. You don't need to hit
this boss at all, meaning you can just Free Run constantly until all the
scenes are triggered. Another issues is, even if you Free Run, the enemy
can still get you. If that happens, heal with items and/or use Reaper
Knock to buy yourself some time. Reaper Knock will sometimes stun the enemy,
if not, it will still knock the enemy down while you get the chance to run.
If you lose all your HP though, that is game over.
After a certain amount of time, another scene is triggers and everyone joins
in for the battle. This battle is hard if you don't know what you're doing.
However, I do know, so I'm here to guide you. I've used Yuri to beat him
and that wasn't really easy. I won, but a lot hassle. Since this monster
is a flying type, I suggest you use Judith. She can jump to attack and most,
if not all of her attacks, are aerial. I picked Judith to use, Rita, Karol,
and Raven to heal. Another key to make this battle easier is Raven. Karol
can heal you up as well. I, on the other hand, use normal attacks, normal
up, and Luna Gale to trigger FS hits. Her FS is what I used to kill this guy
fast. About he SM for this battle. You wait until this guy dive under the
land and he'll stick his fin out. As far as I can see, you can only hit his
fin once fin stickup. So you'll need to wait for him to do this 3 times in
a row. After that, hit him again on the fin and the SM is yours. Besides,
that, Free Run whenever you can't see him and find your chances. Read his
movement and block when needed. I used a lot of items in this battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, scene, Brave One title for Karol. Go south to find a
chest, Diamond Guard. I suggest you go back and save. Go back to the blastia
and hug the north to go to a chest, Tent. Go back down, east to 2 paths,
north and south. Go north and get the obvious chest, Body Paint. From there,
keep going north/eastish. At the end, you'll get a chest, Limit Bottle.
Go all the way back and take the south path, rather the middle path. Another
split, take the left one of course, chest with Bloody Coat. Nothing on the
the other one. Go all the way back again, and now take the very bottom path.
Keep going east and you'll find a chest eventually on the south side,
Seal Bottle. Back to the east path. Keep going more and you'll see another
chest near the bottom/central, Psychedelica (sp?). Keep going north now and
to the left/north part there's a chest, Lottery Gel. All the way to the
right now, but try not to trigger the event yet. From here, go north to
reach a chest to the right, Magic Lens x5. Now to east and scene triggers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now on the very east of Aspio and Halure. Go south first though. So
for right now, go to Halure as that's apart of the storyline after all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halure + Quoi Woods
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. Head to the inn for a rest. Scene. Attempt to exit Halure. Scene. Go
back to the inn, second door from the left. Scene. After:
"A job nobody wants to do." Attempt to exit Halure again, scene. Now, really
exit Halure. Go to Quoi Woods. Try to go to where the save point was in this
place. Scene. Exit Quoi Woods, not the way you came in here with. In other
words, we're trying to get to Zaphias.
Before going to the castle though. Make a stop at Deidon Hold. Go into the
HQ and up to the top. To the same place where you saw Duke last time. Guess
what, he's there again. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zaphias, City Not Livable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. There isn't much to say since this is a one-way road to the castle
entrance. Scene at gate. Go into the castle now. Once inside, take the right
upper door. Then north and north again. That should trigger a scene. Nice,
relaxing music. Save. Once you exit this area, the BG music goes back to
its original state.

Elder Cloak, Spirit Bangle, Mystic Mark, Limit Bottle, Breaker Bow,
Lapis Lazuli, Vagabond +1, 15000 Gald, Transform Bow +1(a) + Moon Guard
Okay, exit this place to the left to go back into the halls. Go south and
take the first hole on the left. Keep going north and north until you
trigger a scene. A chest to the left, Spirit Bangle. Another to the right,
Elder Cloak. There's an enemy/mage or something on the throne. To the left
of the throne/chair check it, Mystic Mark. You may go north to check the
doors for clues, but that's not really required at all. In which case, exit
to the south. Down the first set of stairs on the right and enter the hole
to the right. All the way north now. There's 2 chests here, Limit Bottle and
Breaker Bow. Afterwards, SR the angel in the middle. This will trigger
an image above the angel.
Go back to where the save point is at. There's a blastia on that floor,
which is in the center/top on the first floor. Check behind it, Lapis Lazuli
Exit to the south. Then go to the left. South again. Lower left. SR the
angel on the top. Exit to the right. North. Right. North again. Now up the
stairs on the left and enter the left hole. Go north. Two chests are seen,
Vagabond +1 and 15000 Gald. SR the angel in the middle. Exit out. From here,
keep going south and east until you're back to where the prison is at.
There's angel near the prison. Go to it and SR it. Puzzle is now solved
and all, but there's one more thing left. Go into the prison. Check the
rightest chamber, Transform Bow +1(a) + Moon Guard. Now go back to where
that last scene with trigged with that hawt chick. Proceed north to the door
and then SR that door to activate it. Save point nearby. Save.
Do some minor equipment/skill adjustment as needed. This won't be a hard
fight at all. I would say that I was not surprised. Keep going up now. Yes,
it's very long. Hope you don't lose. I'll laugh if you do. Scene at top.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #18
There's two parts. The SM is on the second part. So before then, give her
everything you got. You can keep comboing against her, thus stunning her and
making her not be able to move. She is quite slow is some sense. Make sure
Raven is in your party is you're having trouble.
Now for the second part. You'll only get to use Yuri for this SM part. The
SM is very, very easy. Unless of course, you didn't get the item before. As
soon as this second part starts, go into the menu and use the item
'Mother's Memento' on the Boss. That's it, the 'Great' will be triggered.
I've personally tried to use it on the first part, but that doesn't do
anything at all. Even if you did use it during then, you'll always get it
back afterwards. It's like you can use as many times as you want before
doing this SM. Go figure. After that, destroy her! I kept going into OL
and using Burst Artes and comboing her constantly. She is so easy to guard.
Don't like it when she gets into OL mode though. Her Burste Arte is quite
nice. Interrupt her when she is casting. Soon, it will end.

| - - - E - |AXX|AF | | AD = Red Basil
------------------------------- AE = Antenna Guard, Savory
AF = Amulet
AXX = Location of Shovel*
AG = Basil, Poison Charm
To start off, look at BF1 and more directly, from AA. Anything that is A? are
new areas. This will lead to BF2. AXX, Location of Shovel is apart of a future
sidequest. I guess it wouldn't hurt to wait for that sidequest before doing
this part. Another reason is, there's no quick exit out of this place.
- Go to Torim and enter this place from the docks. Go north to trigger a scene
with Sciliy. After the scene, your ship will get the crane and fully powered
up features to travel any seas/oceans. The purpose of the crane is so that you
can get treasures from the ocean, just like Search Points. They are usually
identified by having a lot of seaguls circling around them.
- The Hotspring is now avaliable. It's located in the Northwest region. If
you see a forest with weird designs on it (cirlce with some slashes in the
middle) then you found it. It's not an island, that's Cobanda. Anyways, go
inside and talk to the main desk. Scene.
- Go to Phaeroh's Craig. Scene. Go north, scene. This is apart of the
EX Dungeon. You need to trigger this in order to get this dungeon at the end
of the game. If you don't do this before then, well, you missed it. Go to the
Sage's house and talk to the sage. Scene. Talk to him again, and stay for the
night. Scene.
Well, time to continue with the storyline. Head to center of the world map.
Scene. Enter that island in the middle of the map. Scene.

Limit Bottle, Special Gel, Splash Dress
- Pineapple Gel, Dunamis, Lemon Gel, Rare Plate, Rare Protector
- Rod, Mjolnir, Shiden
- Lemon Gel, World Charm, Melange Gel, Death Contrast, Asura
Go to the right and keep going on the water to find a chest, Barrier. Save
point up ahead. Go continue to the north and check the vent, scene. Go inside
Descend the stairs and go to the left/up path, into the next screen. Make
yourself to the north. You'll see a bunch of chests. These are the items that
you'll get in the process:
Panacea Bottle 20000 Gald Life Bottle Limit Bottle
Zaude Orb
15000 Gald Moon Cloak Special Gel Splash Dress
You can take all of them. Zaude Orb is the key, so you'll have to take it.
After that, go back to the south room. To the top/middle, which you passed
through before, is a room with an altair, talk to it. This will place the
Zaude Orb on it. Now SR it. The whole place would be flooded. Return back to
the south room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole place is now changed. Go to the left and onto the ramp. Take the
lower/left path to a chest, Pineapple Gel. Now to the right and into that
hole, into the north section. Go north and back into the water. Go north and
up the stairs to a chest, Dunamis. Back into the water, to the right, and
back onto the ramp. Make your way south and to the south section. Go to the
right and it will lead you to a chest, Lemon Gel. Now you need to backtrack.
To the north, to the left, back to the south. Enter the water, swim south
and up the ramp to the left. Scene. Now up the stairs.
There are 2 chests in this room. The upper left one, Rare Plate, and the
upper right one, Rare Protector. If you go to the south door and enter it
further on, it will trigger a scene. This is optional. Anyways, take the north
door. As you keep going north, a save point. Definetly save your game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #19
This boss uses a gun and spams it at will. Comboing with Yuri's Shining Fang
works wonders in immobolizing him. Forgot to mention, there's 2 parts. When
he goes into OL mode, I suggest Free Running away; it's quite deadly. He can
also jump high and shoot the ground you're standing on. Estelle is good for
healing in this situation.
There is a SM for this battle. When he reveals his thing to you, you have to
use Raven and hit his chest with Rain. This is by far, the hardest SM to get.
There's a certain angle you have to him and he must not be guarding himself.
Not just that, he also has auto shield, which you need to break before
shooting with Raven's Rain. When you attack too much, he will also guard.
There's 2 methods and I've used both of them. I would say method one is better
1) Have Yuri set as AI and have him use only Shining Fang. At the same time,
you use Raven, get into OL mode and spam Rain. Keep Raven in OL mode and keep
spamming Rain like crazy. When I got it, twice that is, both of his arms
aren't near his chest and the shield is gone as well.
2) Set everyone to Defend and control only Raven. Go into OL mode and keep
spamming Rain. If you do it right, Rain will destroy both the shield and
hit his chest at the same time. This took quite many attempts.
After the battle, scene.
Go back and save, especially if you got the SM from that battle. Or like me,
who got the whole next section memorized, continue until the next save point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From where the last battle ended, go north. See that monster front of you,
ignore it for now. It's a Giganto, but if you insist, go ahead. Well, I'll
fight him. Shining Fang to hit him for more than once, Azure Edge with OL
form to constantly knock him. Or use Rita and spam spells in OL mode.
There are 3 chests after that battle, Rod, Mjolnir, Shiden. AFAIK, you do need
to defeat the Giganto before you can get the chests. Go to the right.
Hallway, go to the right. Up the stairs on the right. Push the right statue
to the lower ground. Then move it to the left of the bottom statue, so they
are side by side. Go back up the stairs and SR the blue orb. Water is
raised. Swim to the lower right and then make yourself to the left across
that self-made bridge. Continue to the north to see a red orb. You have to
position yourself on the left side first. Then SR the red stone. If done
correctly, you'll now be on the left ledge. Go to the left and use that door.
Hallway, go to the left. There's an altair on north central side. Keep going
to the left. Hallway, left again
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you're on the room with no enemies and you're on the top floor. Go to the
bottom floor. Push the top/north statue (the first one that you'll see after
going down the stairs), which has the blue orb, to the lower left area of it's
limits. Now push the left statue to the right. Then all the way up into the
water. Stand on the left staue and SR the blue orb. If you don't understand
that, this should help.
--------
| | B = Blue Orb Statue
|B | S = Left Staue, Stand on it and SR the Blue Orb
S --------

After you SR the blue orb, water will rise. There are 2 chests, Red Orb and
Lemon Gel. You do have to fight that enemy. After that, SR the Red Orb. Go
to the left and SR that other Red Orb to take all the enemies away. Go to
the right and back to that room with the altair. Set the Red Orb onto the
altair and SR it. Go all the way back to the left with stairs. Go to the
bottom floor. Make yourself to the upper right part. Push that statue to
the south, cross it. Two chests on the south side, World Charm and
Melange Gel. Go into the door on the right.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hallway, to the right door. Go up the stairs and to the north, enter that
door. There are two chests in this place. Upper Right chest, Death Contrast;
Upper Left chest, Asura. Go to the north door on the bottom floor, enter it.
There's a battle up ahead. I can't tell the difference between them and
normal battles that I've fought in this place before. Scene after battle.
Save at the save point. As you might already know, boss battle up ahead.
Scene as you enter the north doors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #20
I can't see how this battle is any special then fighting other human enemies.
He does have a few magic atacks that send ice which is apart of a quick
attack. Shield as well, just like the last battle. Run way when he OL himself
The SM in this battle is weird. I don't consider it hard, just tedious. To
sum it up, you need to let him use his Mystic Arte until he gets tired. This
will take at least 10 minutes and it will only work when see him being
exhausted. The features of him being exhauted is as follows:
1) His whole upper body is bent down toward the floor
2) His sword is basically touching the ground
3) His left hand is holding onto his chest
4) You can see the very top of his ahead, if not more.
When you see this happening, use Shining Fang twice. First to remove his
shield and the next one will bring him down. I've done this 3 times so far,
and I notice that when he's in this stage, you have 6/7 seconds to knock him
down. That's plently of time.
After the battle, scene. Then:
Achievement Unlocked: 150G Ended Alexei's Ambitions
Therefore, it means Part 2 is done. Time for Part 3 now. The last part.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gathering - Zaphias, Aspio, Dahngrest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. Suggest that you save once you exit the house. Go north, scene. Back
inside the house. Go back outside, keep going north to the fountain, scene.
Keep going north, scene.
Now, go to Aspio. North until you trigger a scene. Into Rita's house and talk
to her. Scene. Exit Aspio and head for Dahngrest.
Enter Dahngrest. Make your way to the central area. Scene. Head to the Union
HQ, scene. Cyano Ciel Crystal obtained.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequesting C
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few sidequests that needs to be done now.
- Go to the Torim. From whatever you're at, head toward the houses at the
central area. Scene with Gauche and Droite.
- With the previous task done, go to Zaude. I suggest you save outside, since
the one inside has been removed. Put Repede in the main party. Now make your
way to the area where you fought your first boss in this area.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS
This battle is hard and on the side, you have steal both weapons from them.
You don't have to steal both, but why not? Stealing of them, means you can
make the other from Synthesis, but why bother when you can just take both
of them. To do this, change into Repeded. OL repede and constantly spam
Thievery until the words "No Item to steal" shows up, swtich your target, and
do the same thing again. Being in OL mode means you won't see Repede's sitting
down part, which speeds up the process. The reason to get both of these swords
are because of the skills that they teach. After stealing both weapons, defeat
them.
Change back into a character who you're familiar with. It's a hard battle
overall and I was on Easy mode. I suggest setting everyone
"Target: Same enemy" and Items: "Up to you." From what I see, take down the
red-haired first because she tends to heal more frequently then the
other one. Plus, I'm pretty sure she's the only one that can revive. Then on
the last one, no matter what you do, don't let them cast magic because they
both heal a lot of HP. Comboing to stun them. Fun battle huh.
After battle, scene. Divine Cannon and Letter of Challenge (L. Claw) obtained
Divine Cannon is Raven's Strongest Weapon, not counting Fell Arms.

given 2 options as to how will proceed. Picked number 2 at the end. I saved
first of course as I wanted to see how both worked out. In any case, to talk
to them to trigger it.
1) Accept their reward

LeBlanc on the right side. Talk to him, scene.
Both leads to the same voice acting dialogue.

6000 Gald awarded.
- Into the Union HQ and to the left side is the Bunny Guild guy. Talk to him.

and some ears first.
- Same area as the Bunny Guild, now to the right side and talk to the 2 guys.
Scene. Accept the job
- Go to Baction. I drew a map early on where the shovel is. Use the control
function to search for: AXX to locate the shovel and then bring it back to
this guy.

keys.
- Go to Ghasafrost and enter the big door. Talk to the level on the left side,

Items Found In Section:
Spirit Symbol, Miracle Gel, Lapis Lazuli, Limit Bottle*, All Divide,
Hourglass
Enter Zopheir from the east. The west doesn't work at all. Scene. By using
the SR, you can move Ice Pillars to unlock chests in this area. There's
quite a lot of them. Anyways, proceed further for another scene.
After that scene, SR the north pillar. Now go to the left and to where the
blastia is. Don't go near it yet. Take the path 1 up from where you were
and continue on. Then SR the south pillar. Go to the right and opened the
chest you knocked early on, Spirit Symbol. Go to the furthest right and SR
that pillar. Now head back and make yourself all the way to the left side,
even further away from the blastia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you get to the 4 way path, go south and SR the pillar. Take the west
path, locate the pillar in the north, and SR it. Make west. South chest,
Miracle Gel. North chest, Lapis Lazuli. There was another chest nearby,
Limit Bottle, but I might've skipped through that one previously. Now go to
where the blastia is and talk to it. Scene
This minigame of some sorts is pretty easy. Y, X, A, B are the only way to
complete this. Are (buttons) will come from the right side and go to the
left. As it approaches Estelle's blueish absorber, push the button
accordingly. When you do it right, the are will go to the right and increase
the energy bar. I've managed miss 1 every time, but that's good enough. From
what I've tested, it needs to be over half way full. Scene.
"The Splishy-Splashy Water-Colored Quee--"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take the south path to the east. Open the chest nearby, All Divide. Keep
going to the right. Locate the pillar on the north and SR it (it's near
the big ice surface at the end). Go up and open that chest, Hourglass.
As you head toward the right exit, scene.

- Go to Zaphias and into the noble quarters. Scene in the same area as before.
Dark Enforcer Final Part (One of my favorite costumes for Yuri)
- Go to Myorzo. Talk to the little girl on the bottom right where all the
Krytians are. Scene. This is a challenging minigame I admit that. But there
are a few ways to cheap/cheat your way through. You can open the minimap to
locate where all the yellow/red circles are. Just make a quick path for
yourself, memorize it and it's easily as yours. There are 5 levels total.
Personally, I only used the world map for the very last one since they are
all over the place, literally. Complete level 3 to get Krone's Dew
Krones' Dew let Ba;ul (ball) land on a few new locations. Ba'ul can land
on ice now, the left side of Mt. Temza, etc...
Completing all 5 levels will get you Judith's Super Dragon Rider and
Ultimate Red Cape

Limit Bottle, Melange Gel, Stun Talisman, Cowboy Hat, Rare Protector,
- Highlander, Dark Avenger, 25000, Lemon Gel + Pineapple Gel, Strike Eagle,
Spinning Drill Hammer, Sword Whip, Red Savory, Basil, Saffron, Orochi +1,
Longinus
Scene as you enter this place. Go north and there's a trail on the right side
leading to a chest, Limit Bottle. Back onto the trail and to the north. At
very north, before going to the right, there should be a chest that can be
shattered with SR, Melange Gel. After that go to the right, SR all crystals
in your parth. As you keep goin, there's a very tall icicle, SR it to create
a bridge to the right side. Before crossing the bridge, check the north side
for a chest, Stun Talisman. Now cross the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, go to the north side and SR a path. A turle enemy
will appear. Behind them are two chests, Cowboy Hat and Rare Protector. Go
back south, and make your way to the right, scene. Battle? No. Save point
nearby.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From where the save point is at, a four way. Take the south path to a chest,
Highlander. East, SR it for enemy, chest behind it, Dark Avenger. Then to
the north path to move on. Split into 2 paths. Take the left path to a chest,
which is an enemy. Battle itself gives 10000 Gald, afterwards, 25000 Gald.
Now take the right path. Chest on the way there to the north, Lemon Gel +
Pineapple Gel. Proceed to the right. You'll notice that the north is full
of red.
Another split, take the right path. Another split again, take the south
path. SR a few crystals to make a path. 3 chests, Strike Eagle,
Spinning Drill Hammer, and Sword Whip. Now go back to where the split was
and take the upper right. SR crystal/enemy. Keep going. You'll need to SR
another tall icicle for a bridge. See that enemy to the north, that's
Fenrir. You can tackle him, I didn't since he isn't guarding/blocking me
from getting those 3 chests north of him, Red Savory, Basil, and Saffron.
To see those 3 chests though, you do need to SR the crystal in front of it
btw. Holy Bottle ftw.
Now go all the way back to the area where you saw a field of red. Go north
and head the right side. SR the right side which path leads to 2 chests,
Orochi +1 and Longinus. Now go back and continue the path to the north.
Save sphere nearby, save. Boss Battle ahead. Scene as you enter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #21
If you have low levels like I do, I suggest guarding when he attacks and
only attack when he stops. He does have a shield though. Shining Fang can
bypass this. The SM is really easy to get. When he pounds his chest, just
using Shining Fang on him to knock him down. It works wonders. If you're
having trouble killing him. Use Rita, OL and spam a spell constantly.
Tidal Wave anyone?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, scene. Now you'll have to backtrack all the way back to the
entrance. There's no shortcut, yet. Exit the place and it's for the next
spirit to be obtained. It's located southeast for Zaphias. The whole place
flat on top except for one area, locate it and enter it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relewiese Hollow
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene as you enter. First off, Holy Bottle and dodging enemies work 60% of the
time. And this place has many splits and turns. As you go down, enemy blocking
a chest to the right, Forte Staff. Continue to the left. A split, left and
right, take the right path. As you go through, a chest is blocked south,
Bahamut's Tear. Nevermind, I decided to just draw a map. Describing this is
too confusing, even for me. Plus, later on when your SR is powered up even
more, a few more places can be unlocked. When that time comes, I'll just
copy/paste and add details into this map. If you don't want to do this now,
just head for SP and finish the boss battle. You're going to come back here
anyways right?

game. SP is the second save point, which has a cave to the north, that's where
the boss resides. Scene as you continue more north
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #22
I would have to say it's like the same battle as last time. The SM for this
battle is someone different. You'll have to wait for the boss to fly high in
the sky, then it will strike the ground, causing an earthquate of some sort.
And right then, you have less than 2 seconds to hit her. I've tried jumping
to dodge, but that didn't work. Both cases, the AI got the SM for me. I guess
it depends on luck with your character. The first, I was paralyze and I
couldn't attack her. The second time, I was dizzy and I was on the ground for
5 seconds +. Sylph
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene after battle. Don't exit the cave yet. Go all the way north to find
a chest, 40000 Gald. Save your game if you want. We need to backtrack now, but
not all the way back to the beginning, just to the first Save Point. As you
approach that area, scene. You'll be given an option to call Ba'ul to exit this
place quickly. Pick yes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Few Minor Siders
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was stated that I should've obtained this quite a while ago, but I haven't
got it. People told me to get into more random battles to trigger this, but
I didn't want to at the time. Since Releweise is cleared, that's good enough.
- Go to Aspio and go up the stairs. Scene. Rita's Meteor Storm. (I love this
attack. Combine this with Tidal Wave and I can clear 100-Man Melee in less
than 4 minutes time.
- Go to Myorzo and talk to the Elder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Spirit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This spirit could've been obtained once you got Undine, but I decided to pick
him up last, just because. Now go to Phaeroh's Craig. You'll see him going
around in circles. Just try to ram Ba'ul into him in order to trigger a scene.
Events will automatically trigger itself. (Efreet)
"The Fearsome Fiery Fireball Ki--"
Exit back to the WM. Scene. Fly to the top of Mt. Temza, scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorcerer's Ring Level 4 and Second Fell Arm - Zarich
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get this, the requirements for having the 4 spirits is already done. You
do have the Abyssion right, one of the fell arms? Yes? Good. Now go to the
are crane southeast of Weasand of Cados (southwest of Nordopolica). This place
is basically runes (rocks) that roses up. Not that hard to find. Enter this
place. Scene. Go toward the runes/aer crane, scene. Zarich obtained. Which
is your 2nd fell arm. An entrance is made, go inside.
Head towards the left and make your way to the center of this place. Scene.
Sorcerer's Ring Lv. 4 Obtained
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Fell Arm - Nebilim (Keiv Moc)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this section isn't just about getting Nebilim. It's about getting all
the hidden areas in this place. From where you first enter, SR the grasses
on the left side for a 2 chests, Sage and Blue Talisman. Now go up the branch,
keep on the north, which will lead you to the left and down to the ground.
Stay on the ground and head to the end of it. SR the vines to open a new
path. This will lead you to another bush to be SRed with a chest afterwards,
Savory.
Now, go back and hopefully, you remembered where the the save point in Keiv
Moc is. Go to where the first save point is. From there, little bit north and
SR the bush to the left to find a chest, Red Saffron. From the save point, go
a little bit south and hug the right. Take this path to a chest, Lemon Gel.
Keep going to the right and take the north path, SR it for a chest, Lavender.
Keep on going to the right now and you'll see a chest, SR it. Hug south and
approach the left and you'll be on another path. At the bottom, you'll get
the chest that you just SRed, Overdrive Old Man. SR the south side to get
another path. A chest at the end, Mysterious Piece
Go back to the save point and go north into the branch. Hug the north and
keep going to the left. You'll then need to SR the bushes. To the right,
behind an enemy, is our prize, the third Fell Arm - Nebilim. Now go to the
left and SR another bush. Defeat the enemy at south. Go all the way south
to end with 2 chests, Blue Dice and Paralysis Charm. Now go all the way to the
end of this place to find the greenish teleporter. To the left of that, find
some bushes to burn. There are 2 hidden chests afterwards, Chamomile and
Elemental Goggles. Use the teleporter and exit this place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth Fell Arm - Mercurius (Relewiese Hollow)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember what I said about hidden areas? Well one of the fell arms are here.
Copy and paste from before, but now I'll fill in everything else. Besides
getting the Fell Arm, I would also advice getting the Overdrive Princess as
well. Not too hard to find and it's verr close to the entrance. All other
hidden places are full of stat increasers. Both save points now have a
green teleporter next to them, so it makes leaving easier.
A = Forte Staff
B = Bahmut's Tear
C = Life Bottle
D = Dragon Protector
E = Kritya Circlet
F = Hero Crest
G = Pineapple Gel

Now that you have 4 Fell Arms, go to the ship to trigger a scene. One more
Fell Arm until I quit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gigantos and the Fifth Fell Arm - Glasya Labolas
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I'm way overleveled and I think I can handle all of them. It's time to
do some Giganto Hunting. The Fifth Fell Arm will come by in the process.
Let's list the ones that I've done and the ones that I've missed. In either
case, I'll list them all and where you can find them. Shining Fang is the
recommended attack to deal with enemies with shield.
1) Hermit Drill - Weasand of Cados, From the save point, go left to the next
screen. Hug south and go towards the right. I've done this one already.
2) Medusa Butterfly - Sands of Kogorgh. It's on the screen north of the save
point. Find it on the southwest section. I've done already as well
3) Poseidon - Zaude. From where the 2nd save point was, or I at least hope you
remember where it was. Go north 2 screens. That big goliath in the middle.
Done this by force because he was blocking 3 chests.
4) Brutal 'Lord of the Plains' - North of Deidon Hold, on the world map that
is. I haven't done it. Land near the Deidon Hold and beging to walk around
the area. It will rush toward you. In battle, don't bother with the minions
since they can constantly respawn in the process. Set everyone to same
enemy and attack Brutal only.
5) Chimera Butterfly - Quoi Woods. From where the save point is, go to the
right and all the way north to find bushes. SR it to find this Butterfly.
I see no major difference between this and Medusa. It however, does have
a flying attack and thrust forward. Shining Fang. I suggest having Judith
knock him down to the ground if he decides to fly. His attacks are stronger
than Medusa of course, way stronger. If you feel the need, don't hesitate
to bring Estelle in as well.
After the battle, begin checking this area for chests. I'm pretty sure you
don't need to defeat Chimera in order to get this fell arm, but o well. Check
the chest to the left of the tree to get your Fifth Fell Arm, Glaysa Labolas.
Check the right side of that tree for Overdrive Kid. Check the right south
section to find a chest, Rebirth Ring.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Fenrir - Crystallands. Hope you remember where this guy is. Far right
of this place. Hard to miss. All I did was use Limit Bottles, Rita, and
spammed Meteor Storm. I should've thought of this for the Chimera battle
as well. It's weak against Fire, but Meteor Storm is non-elemental, so
meh. Power > Weakness affinity. It does inflict poison, so it would be
wise to bring some Poison Bottles. Use the greenish portable where you
fought the boss to escape.
7) Pterobronc - Mt. Temza. Very close to the entrance. Hug Bird. Just like
the one that was chasing the Everlight guy. Shining Fang FTW again.
Free Run when it uses OL. You have to keep him stunned or he'll do a
lot of damage (small, but can build up really quickly).
8) Brucis - Egothor Forest. Of where the save point is, take the lower right
path to find this guy. Farming a few of these guys would be nice.
Bull Wing. In order to synthesis a weapon for Judith, I had to farm from
him. Later on did I find a better way for Bull Wings. About this Giganto.
Must have Recover and Shining Fang to keep him in place. He runs around
like crazy. Somewhat hard. Meteor Storm again. When he gets into OL,
Free Run when needed. FS works wonders. Pain in the ass, that's all I have
to say about this guy.
9) Griffin - This guy is located on the plains east of Yumanju (hot spring).
You won't see him on the world map because he'll spawn on you. I don't
know why, but I find him one of the easiest Giganto's ever. Every other
Giganto put up a fight, but not him. He was just taking it as it is.
Funny thing is, he's very slow. When it's drawn into someone, go control
them and walk around. He won't attack anyone until he gets what he wants.
His magic attack though, does hurt a lot. Long battle.
Obtained: 50G - Big Game Hunter
With all the Giganto defeated, watch the skit. I love it.
"I feel a little lonely inside."
SPECIAL NOTE*: All Gigantos can be respawned. However, the chances that they
do is quite slim. I had to reload my game 35+ times in order to see them once.
There's 2 methods of respawning them, save and reload from a save point nearby
is my method. The other way is to go a few screens away and come back. Why
not save yourself the trouble and just reload a previous save location? That's
way faster
The main reason why people want to respawn them is quite simple. Each Giganto
drops an item that they can only drop and no one else drops it. Usually it has
to do with a synthesis item. If you are doing this for the items, it's wise
to equip the Hunter's Monocule to someone in the battling party. It guarantees
the item to be dropped and if it doesn't, at least you increase the odds.
Finishing it off with a FS also increases the chances for an item drop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, go back to Rich (North of Halure). Talk to him to get your many
prizes. It doesn't matter when I talk to him because I got all of my prizes
right after killing all 9 Gigantos in a row. Just keep on talking to him.
This is the order that I got them in.
Chimera Butterfly - Chimera Scale
Brutal - Boomerang Horn
Medusa Butterfly - Medusa Scale
Hermit Drill - Fragment of the Skies
Pterobronc - Pterobronc Claw
Poseidon - Fragment of a Sea God
Brucis - Bulsis Mirror
Griffin - Griffin Feather
Fenrir - Silve Mane (I checked, no r)
Talk to Rich again and he'll suggest that you stay the night. Stay for
the night. Scene. Talk to rich again, scene. Karol will get the title of
'Valiant Swordsman.'
We're not done yet. Go to Torim from the inn's direction. Talk to a guy
standing under a tree, that is to the right of the shop. Scene. Go back
to Rich and talk to him, scene. Giganto sidequest is now fully complete.
Time to go back to the storyline.
After that, head to Port Nor. Yuri mentioned about checking on Ehmead Hills.
I went it and it didn't do anything at all. So in which case, just go to Nor.
Hopefully, you've done everything you can in Aspio.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port Nor Shopping
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. Stay at the inn. Scene. Go back into the inn and into the left room,
scene. Attempt to exit Nor, scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blastia Destroyer (Final Part)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made a small detour to do this. Fly to Zaphias and it should trigger a scene
with Judith. Enter Zaphias and toward the intersection between the public
quarters and the lower quarters, scene. Go to the castle, scene. Exit Zaphias
and make way to the battle site. It's located southwest of Zaphias. Some more
hints. Look at the world map. Egothor is to the left, Baction is the middle,
the place you're aiming for is to the right. Quite similiar yes?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reinforcements and Vesperia No. 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene. A special guest joins your party. You have to now battle your way
through a lot of enemies, a little bit over a dozen. A very good conversation
in the beginning of the battle. I love it. Just random monsters sent to
fight you, nothing to hard. Scene after battle. Attempt to exit this place
from the south, scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gathering of Leaders and Sidequesting E
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can do this in any kind of order, I'm just going to do it the way I like
it. Well, first go to Dahngrest.
- As you cross the 4-way cross in Dahngrest, if you've been following the
Vesperia job quests, you will trigger a scene.
- Go up to the Union HQ, scene. You can go to Nordopolica if you want to
continue on, but I'm going to finish more sidequests.
- Go to Mantiac. Attempt to go to the 3-way split, scene.
- Go to Mt. Temza. Go to the second screen to trigger a scene. Prepare to
fight a battle against a Giganto. I've already defeated this one before, but
I don't mind fighting it again. After defeating it, you'll get another
Pterobronc Claw. I got one from Rich before; it's the same thing.
- Go back to Mantiac and to the same area, scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Happy Place - "Nam Cobanda Isle"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to give this place a whole new section for itself, since this is
the introdcution to it. This place is located on the far northwest region on
the world map. It's an island of course. It's very close to the hot spring,
Yumanju and with the help of the people on gamefaqs, there's a gald trick to
spam in the process. Anyways, during the scene, buy the ticket, very cheap and
it's an one time deal.
Go north and enter the left door, which leads you to the gym. Scene. You will
now be standing at the entrance. There's a cow kid and an Ant Lion Man to the
north. The Kow Kid lets you buy chips in exchange for gald or grade. The ALM
lets you trade ships for items or rather, prizes. Behind the ALM, located the
Wonder Chef. Wonder Chef will now teach you the recepie Vichyssoise.
Go to the far left and talk to that guy near the stage. Scene. Titles will
be given to the characters.
Yuri: Improvisionist
Estelle: Heroic Actress
Obtained: Shield of Valor, Hero's Sword
Karol: Brillant Support Role
Rita: Spotlight Hog
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Kow Kid standing on the lower left is called the Movie Player. He can show
you scenes that you've seen in the past. If you haven't seen them though, they
will appear ???? on them. The scene that you will see while talking to the
Kow Kid is the Halure Tree part with Estelle. At this time, there should be
2 ????
There are a few others, but I'm not going to get involved in those yet.
Instead, exit the gym to the right. Go north/right and enter a place called
the Shoe Locker. Check the middle for Magic Lens and All-Divide. Well,
time to get rich and finacially free in this game. This section is for those
who want to finish the Orphange Donation, Hot Spring Event, and the
achievement of "Piggybank" which is to have 10,000,000 Gald Chips. You'll
also get Jackpot, which is 10,000 Chips Won.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gald Grinding Casino Trick
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though you get to finish 3 things in the process, your goal should be to
get Piggybank (10 million gald).
1) Talk to the Kow Kids that does the exchange for chips. Talk to the ALM that
let's you trade in chips for prizes. Talk to the poker Kow Kid and then
exit/quit the game.
2) Go to the Kow Kids and trade in your gald for 500 chips. Exit Cobanda and
save your game.
3) Go back inside and play poker. Aim to get 10,000 Chips at first, but your
true goal should be to get at least 500,000 chips. People that like this
a lot, like myself, shouldn't be too surprised if they reached 3,000,000
chips or more.
Tips:
a) Always to aim to get pairs, or multiples. Pair, Three of a kind, four
of a kind, and 5 of a kind.
b) When you're missing 1 card to get a flush or straight, take the chance.
c) The true method to get a lot of chips is not to get pairs or anything
else, it's actually taken place when you double up. It can go from
double your winnings to, 32 folds of your winnings and more. I've
managed to get a little bit over 300K in one hand
d) When you first start out and you have 500 chips, bet 100 each time and
if you lose it all, reload. If you accumulate over 5000 chips however,
exit Cobanda and save your game. Then start betting 500 each time.
The more you bet, the faster your chips will grow. You can always reload
your game, so that shouldn't an issue. Over time, saving isn't required
anymore. You should confident now.
e) During doubling, if you get a 2, 3, or 4, bet high. If you get a J, Q,
K, or Ace, bet low. Get anywhere from 5 through 10, and you'll need to
think about it. This is a gamble though. It's possible that you'll get
a 2 when you're current card is a 3. The system can sometimes piss you
off. Expect that to happen... a lot.
f) Joker (Yuri) is a wild card. I hope I'm not seeing things because I've
got different results from it. Anyways, when you get Joker, always bet
low. Joke is suppose to be the highest hard, higher than Ace.
g) Don't judge their pictures alone. You have have 2 Kings with different
pictures on them.
4) I kind of lied. You don't really need over 500K. 150K is more than enough
if you just want to get rich. This process however, is quite tedious, but
it's proven to be the fastest of all methods. Time to do some math.
5) Talk to the ALM to trade chips. To get rich, we only need to pay attention
to the first page. Anyways, you should see this:
Miracle Gel 10
Barrier 10
Specific 20
Treat 20
Special Gel 100
Limit Bottle 500
6) Get 15 items of these:
Miracle Gel x 15 = 150
Specific x 15 = 300
Treat x 15 = 300
Special Gel x 15 = 1500; Grand Total = 2250 Chips per trip
- You don't need to check your inventory. They'll tell you if you can carry
anymore or not, meaning you're full on that item. You do have to do this
one at a time, but I wish you could just massively get all of them. This
is the most tedious part.
7) Exit Cobanda. Fly to Yumanju (Hot Spring). Talk to the shop and sell all of
your Miracle Gels, Specifics, Treats, and Special Gel. Selling 15 of each
these and then combining that altogether gets you 172,500 Gald per trip. And
this is per trip. It usually takes 3 to 5 minutes each trick.
8) 2,250 Chips = 172,500 Gald
172,500/2,250 = 1 Chip is worth ~76 Gald
10,000,000/76 = 131589 Chips
This means, you need at least 140K Chips in order to get Piggybank
9) The second page on the prize:
Holy Avenger +1 35000
Calabash Potion 50000
Harold's Mask 70000
Miracle Bangle 100000
Risky Ring 111111
Final Symbol 222222
Calabash Potion is an attachment for Raven. Harold's Mask is an attachment
for Rita. So both of items, you can only buy them once and they'll disappear
from the list. All others, you can buy multiples of.
Mircale Bange: Great for the colesium since it recovers 10% HP and TP for
ever enemy defeated. Excellent for Rita in the colesium. Tidal Wave!
Risky Ring: Lower your defense and magic defense, but you don't have to
worry about TP anymore because all uses of costs 1 now
Final Symbol: Most used by myself. Occasionaly recovers 3% HP and TP
Holy Avenger +1: A sword for Estelle. She doesn't any Combo Plus, but this
will do, if not better than that.
Personally, I would get 2 Miracle Bangle, 2 Risky Ring, 1 Holy Avenger +1,
and 5 Final Symbols. However, there are some people that would just get
7 of each. There's also some people would get many Holy Avengers +1 and
sell them. I think that's a waste, but you can do whatever you want. It's
your game after all.
10) By using this method, I think it took me about 2/3 hours to get 10 million
gald. I could've been slow, but whatever. For all other sidequests, I
suggest at least 2 million. The Donations and Aurnion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, time to continue with other certain tasks that you can do here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Legendary Gambler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you get more chips, save at WM, and come back, you have a chance to
trigger a scene. It doesn't matter if you defeat him or not, you'll still get
the title. If you win, you get more gald (20K), if you lose, less gald, (15K)
Judith will get the title of Legendary Gambler. To win, it's all about luck,
nothing else. If you get a good hand and you can manage to double it up more
and more, you'll win.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Judith's Poker Face
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you decide to buy at least 5 of the high priced items (35K+), you'll
trigger a scene. Judith will get the title of Poker Face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Raven's Hardcore Gamer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little bit south of the toy dispensers, you can find a Kow Kid. Talk to him
to play Tales of Draspi. In order to get the title, you'll need to enter the
first screen of the game itself. That being said, you just need to see the
"Tales of Draspi" screen 30 times or so before you get the title. Besides the
title, I really don't see the point in playing this game. There are no prizes
and the game is endless. Each time you play, that'll cost you 10 Gald. Soon
you'll get Hardcore Gamer title along with Ultimate Blue Cape.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donation Time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you're filthy rich, you should start donating that to charity.
- Go to Yumanju (Hot Spring) and talk to that guy in the front desk. That's
50K per person, which means you'll end up giving up 300K total (dogs don't
count). Scene.
- Go to Torim. Find a plump purple lady on the south side near the Inn's area.
Talk to her, scene. She's asking for 500K. Give it to her. Attempt to exit
out to the left. Scene. Estelle will get the title of Noble Princess.
- If you already haven't done so, go to Nordopolica. Scene. That was fast.
- I suggest you make a seperate save before entering the next area. Nevermind,
I'll just tell you. Go to any shop and create the Limit Trio. This is needed.
Also, make sure that Yuri has the skill "Special" learned and equipped.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leader's Meeting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to the same place where you did the reinforcement phase. Enter the
city/town that's there. Scene. Go talk to Flynn. Go to the far right of this
place to find the Wonder Chef. Today, Wonder Chef will teach you how to make
Crepe. Now, you should be prepared for a battle. Go inside the inn and check
the left and the right, Specific and Treat. Save your game. No spoilers. Talk
to knight at the south entrance. Scene. Don't read the next section until you
have played the battle. It's full of spoilers and I'm saying that to you right
now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE #23 (SPOILERS, Don't read unless you already know)
Free Run. All of his attacks can be free run'd if time correctly. When he
starts casting magic however, attack him to interupt it. However, if you're
going for the SM. You need to have Flynn use all of his attacks. Here's a list
of all his attacks of when he used it on me.
1) Radiant Dragon Fang (Mytic Arte)
2) Demon Fang
3) Dragon Swarm
4) Beast
5) Tiger Blade
6) Demonic Chaos
7) Demonic Circle
8) Sonic Trust
9) Guardian Field (Healing)
10) First Aid (Healing)
11) Sword Rain: Alpha
12) Holy Lance
To activate Radiant Dragon Fang, which is Flynn's Mystic Arte, you must have
Yuri perform his Mystic Arte as well. It has to say Mytic Arte. It's not the
same thing as Burste Arte. For this to happen, Limit Trio is needed, as well
as the Special that I told you to equip on Yuri. Activate Yuri's Mystic Arte
ASAP. After that, keep on bring Flynn's HP lower than 20K so that he can use
Guardian Field and First Aid. Don't interupt Flynn when he's casting, unless
you've already seen all of his magics. Holy Lance is usually done after First
Aid is used. Right after Flynn uses his mystic arte and you've lowered his HP
to 20K or less, just wait until he gives you the "Great" and the SM is yours.
Also, he can use his Mystic Arte anytime he wants after you made him use it
for the first time. So don't be surprised.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene after battle. Go north, scene. Go to the HQ and check the north side,
Limit Bottle x3. You can go around and talk to everyone. If not, go to the
inn and stay for the night. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequesting F Part 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Go to the gym at Cobanda. Talk to the Kow Kid left of the casino table. This
is about the Miska Doctoral Degree. It's somewhat log I guess. But the costume
is nice.
- Go to Aurnion. There's many things that you can trigger. Right now, I trigger
the part in which I get Flynn's Letter of Challenge.
- At Aurnion, talk to Flynn standing next to the Blastia. Scene. Yuri learns
Final Gale in the process.
- At Aurnion, go into the HQ and search the center left side, scene.
Obtained "Against a Backdrop of New Hope"
- At Aurnion, stay at the inn. Scene. Related to Hermes.
- Stay another night at Aurnion. Scene. Four Spirits
- Stay another night at Aurnion. Another Hermes scene.
- Stay at the inn again. Judith's Spear scene
- To the left of the HQ's entrance, talk to Drake. Yuri will get the title
of Certified Soldier.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restoring Aurnion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Aurnion, outside of the HQ's entrance, there's a knight. Talk to him. Time
to start part 1. He wants you to gather the following items for him:
- 3 Desier Gold Dust
Sand Thief drops them. Go to the area outside of Yormgen. They are in
desert obviously. A faster way, would be to use the search point on
southwest island of this desert.
- 3 Hypionia Tree Dark
Square Shoulder drops them. From Aurnion, go south to find two islands.
Pick the island on the east. It must be a sunny day. You can steal from
them as well. Eastern Hypionia if you're lost.
- 3 Yurzo Fruit
EX Rhino drops them, you can steal from them as well. They are found
commonly all over the area where the hotspring is. Most likely in the
plain (non-forest) areas.
Those are the methods that I use to get them. There are others, but with this
plan, you'll know you'll get them for sure. This applies to all parts that
I've done. When you're done getting 3 of each, go back to Aurnion and talk
to him again.
*NOTE: Whenever you don't see him and you have the materials. There's a way to
get him out. First stay on Aurnion's Inn. Check, if no. Exit to the WM and use
a matt. Go back to Aurnion and check. Repeat until he comes out. It should take
no more than 4 minutes by using this process.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restoring Aurnion Part 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now he wants the following items:
- 3 Might Orb
The Warrior of Mt. Temza drops them. I would rather steal from them
though because you will have to do a lot of walking. I would use the
central area of where the save point is to spawn the north side by going
2 screens away.
- 3 Treant Flower
Go to Yumanju (Hot spring), at night, there's an enemy called Bloom. They
drop them.
- 3 Crystal
They are very common in the Crystallands. The tortoise and scorpions drop
them, but I'm pretty sure the others do as well. Just keep killing them
until you have 3.
- 3 Mystic Orb
Go to Caer Bocram (near Heliord), and find an Umbrella. They drop these.
The closes one to the entrance is to the left. These enemies are
called Fancy Parasol. To spawn, exit to the world map and come back
- 3 Great Leo Fang
You'll have to go to the last Dungeon Tarqaron in order to get these. So
fly to where Aspio is and triggers scenes after scenes. When you have
control of your character, go north and into that whole. Scene. This
area should be really bright and blue. Hug the left and go down the
stairs to see this lion-like enemy. They are called Schwert. They drop
this item, semi-rarely. To spawn this guy exit to the world map and
go back inside. Unless you want to explore this place to find more of
them.
*While you're getting Might Orbs in Mt. Temza, if you cross the midway point,
you'll trigger a scene. Judith will learn Sundering Moon
After you have all the items, go back to Aurnion and give it to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restoring Aurnion Part 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the final part. Good grief. He wants the following:
- 1 Greenlight Stone
Outside the area of Nordopolica at night time. Find these glowing bug
that look like fireflies. They drop them fairly commonly.
- 1 Pitch-black Ink
Between Egothor and Baction is an island, in snowy weather. There are 2
types of enemies here. A red one and a purplish one. The purplish one is
huge. The purple ones drops this kind of item, very rarely. You'll
probably need to kill at least a dozen of these in order to get one.
Don't confuse this with Jet-Black Ink. Those are too common. We want
Pitch-black Ink
- 1 Rare Metal
I'm not going to bother with Giganto hunting. Save at the inn in Mantiac.
Find the only island south west of the Desier. There should be a skeleton
head. It's a search point. It's very common for it to have Rare Metal. If
not, reload and try again. It has it 50% of the time.
- 500,000 Gald
By using the Casino/Poker trick in Cobanda, this shouldn't be an issue.
Now that you have all of them, go back to him and give it to him. We now need
to wait for Aurnion to be rebuild. We don't actually wait, we spend nights
at the inn to speed up the process. First, stay 5 times at the inn. Then go
to the World Map and use a matt. Go check to see it triggers a scene. If not,
go back to the world map, go into a battle, escape, use a map, go back to
Aurnion again. Keep doing this until the scene triggers. Well, Aurnion is
finished being rebuilt. Save game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Blue Crystal Rod
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Aurnion fully rebuilt, go to the left side to find loder. Talk to him.
Scene. Obtained BC Rod. BC Rod is Estelle's strongest weapon, not counting
Fell Arm. That is because of BC Rod's Magic Attack. If you don't see loder,
come back to this later on. Just remember. Or you can stay at the inn a few
times until he shows up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tough Dog
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the left of the Blastia, if Repede has learn a certain number of skills,
a scene will trigger. Tough Dog title will be given to Repede
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Shining Star
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Raven has learned a certain number of skills, a scene will automatically
trigger as you enter Aurnion. Raven will get the title Shining Star. A fairly
decent costume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequesting F Part 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the Doctoral Degree isn't finished yet, so let's continue with that.
- Go to Mantiac and into the inn. Scene. This will trigger the Everlight
Refinement Quest, which is done later on. Check the north central bookshelf,
scene. Obtained The Legend that Sleeps in Searing Sands
- Go to Heliord and in the HQ. Go north again and into the meeting room. Check
the left bookshelf, scene. Obtain Urban Planning for Bustling Cities
- Go to Torim Habor from the Inn's side, scene. Karol will learn
Rendering Drop in the process.
- Torim Harbor. Go to Fortune's HQ in the central park. Check the bookshelf
to the upper right corner, scene. Obtain Reflections on the Scent of the Sea
- Go to Halure and toward the tree. Scene
- Halure. Go to the major's house. In the central area, check the left side
of books, scene. Obtain The Village Carpeted with Flowers. Another scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hot Spring (Part 3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Yumanju (Hot Spring) and talk to the main desk guy. Scene. Yes, you'll
need to pay another 600,000 Gald (900K so far) and this is the final one.
Paying wise. Scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Miska Doctoral Degree (Final Part)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Cobanda and talk to Miska. Now get ready to take the test. O, here,
I'll help you cheat. The answers are always the same and they don't change at
all.
Q1: When was "Tales of Destiny" released in North America? (1)
A1: 3) September 30, 1998
Q2: In "Tales of Symphonia", who is the worst cook in the party? (24)
A2: 1) Raine Sage
Q3: What is Norma Beatty's nickname from "Tales of Legendia"? (52)
A3: 4) Bubbles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q4: Which of the following characters does NOT appear in (81)
"Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology"?
A4: 3) Presea Combatir
Q5: Which of the following events does NOT take place on Nam Cobanda Isle
in "Tales of the Abyss"? (100)
A5: 1) Ishtar turns to stone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene afterwards. NOTE* No matter if you get all of them correct or not,
Karol's score never changes. 82 Points. In the process, Rita will get the title
Miska Doctoral Degree, which in my opinion is one of her best outfits in this
game, second or better than her Seeker. Karol will get the title of
Little Shrimp Professor. He doesn't take it though, how sad.
If you got them all correct, you'll get:
* 10G - Smarty-pants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seduction Costumes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, but I don't recall how many of each item I'll need for one of these,
but they are both the same thing. Just farm more of these. Or pay attention to
how many that guy wants and multiple that by 2, since the first one is free.
And leaves two more sets. If I mentioned something that isn't needed, just
ignore it.
- Spirit Fragment
It's dropped by both forms of ghosts at Antherum (Ghost Ship) and they
drop it commonly.
- Cheagle Fur
Dropped by Gentlemieu at Niffel Lake, night time. From Mt. Temza, travel
north (south from Hotspring) to this crater like area. The lake is dried up
so it's filled with sands. These are the only guys that you see during the
night time. They do drop it rather rarely though.
- Sacred Tree
Blooms drops them. Night time at the area outside of Yumanju (Hotspring)
- Cockatrice Claw
Passion Cockatrice drop them. Desier on the world map at night. Fairly
common drops from them. They are flaming red. Close to Yormgen.
Heliord. Go down to the campsite and to the lower left. Siciliy scene.
You'll get Murakumo, weapon for Repede.
Titles that will be given in the process:
Karol - Girly
Estelle - Enchanting Belle
Judith - Sultry Tempest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hot Spring Costume (Final Part)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Yumanju (Hotspring) again. Talk to the same person as before. Scene.
You now need to talk to all the other characters in order to move on.
- Raven and Judith: Main Lobby (near the main desk)
- Karol: Men's locker room
- Estelle: Woman's locker room
- Rita: North of Woman's locker room
After all of that, go to the main desk again to trigger a scene. You will
obtain "Yumanju, Permanent Free Pass." This doesn't mean you'll get any more
scenes at this place. Just the name of it. Also, each will get to keep their
costumes and a title to boot.
- Yuri: Tank Top Lover
- Estelle: Massage Therapist
- Karol: Towel Fanatic
- Rita: Fashionista
- Judith: Enchanting Beauty
- Raven: Spa Manager
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Sorcerer's Ring Level 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to get the final level for the Sorcerer's Ring, even though I don't see
how more powerful it is from level 4. Level 5 just shoots farther away. Go to
to the are krene south of Yumanju. Any one of them works, but I find this
somewhat convenient. Once there, SR any rocks that blocks your path. Make your
way to the right side and head towards the center of. Scene. Level 5 SR is
now yours. It's WHITE! Nice! Sorcerer's Ring Lv. 5 obtained! Final Form.
* Very good skit afterwards
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Dog Map Part II
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As much as I want to recommend this, I don't think you should do it just
yet. There are some areas that requires you in order to clear the game
first in order to open up new areas and get them. I did it, but I kinda
regretted. At least I don't have to bother with a lot areas. Do this later
and I'll give a little more advice on the subject.
With 85% of it complete, go to Aurnion (My Aurnion is fully rebuilt) and go
to the left side to trigger scene. Obtained Pork Chop, for Repede.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Dark Enforcer Conclusion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Zaphias, and to the public quarters to the right. This is the final
scene for Dark Enforcer even though you have the title already. It just shows
what happens to one of the people involved in it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Map Nerd
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You could've done this a long time ago, but I just decided to do this right
now. By using Ba'ul, go to every corner of the world map. Use both the little
minimap and the huge world map to locate what you have missed. The Mini-map
usually shows these white spots which you have no covered, if it's on the
blue ocean that is.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Everlight Refinement (Long Quest)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Dahngrest and into the inn. To the left side and talk to the woman
- Go to Cobanda and head to the upper left corner of the first area. Talk to
the couple, scene.
- Go to Aurnion and into the HQ, talk to Flynn, scene.
- Go to Zaphias and near the exit of the Noble Quarter, talk to one of the
guards standing on the left side, scene.
- Go inside the Zaphias' Castle and into the Prison Chambers. Find that
bitch in one of the cells, talk to her, scene.
- Go to Nor and towards the inn, scene.
- Go on aboard the ghost ship and to the north side, scene. Drawn into a
battle. Scene.
- Go to Caer Bocram and straight north, scene.
- Go to Dahngrest and all the way north into the Union HQ. Go into the
Prison cells and talk to that person imprisoned. He wants you to cook
something for him.
*While traveling through this part, you will trigger a scene.
Pick 1st Option to be declared the winner.
Pick 2nd Option to be in second place
- Both leads to the same outcome. You'll get Karol's Infinity.
* Infinity is Karol's strongest, not counting Fell Arms
- Go to the Dahngrest Inn. Save.
1) Use Estelle to Cook Friend Chicken and Fries until you get the recepie
Scottish Egg. Sleep after cooking and keep cooking/sleeping, until you
get Scottish Egg.
2) Have Raven Cook Scottish Egg like before. Keep doing this until you get
the recepie Okonomiyaki
- Go back to the prison cell of Dahngrest's Union HQ. Talk to the prisoner
again and cook for him Okonomiyaki. Obtain Irmine's Manual.
- Go to Mantiac and to the inn. Talk to that guy, scene. Everlight Refinement
quest is now finished. Only the conclusion is left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Golden Soldier
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Keiv Moc. As you enter, scene. Afterwards, Karol will get the title
of Golden Soldier (best costume for Karol, IMHO). Another:
Letter of Challenge (Hunting Blades) Obtained
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Motivational Requirements (Siciliy Finale)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Halure and go to the same place that you met Sicily. Talk to him and
he'll give a list to do in order to give him some motivation. I've listed
all the tasks and what needs to be done in order to get it. For each
character, you'll get a weapon for each task done. To check your progress
just go to your Records. All of them in there. For Battle Evaluation,
just get into a battle (Hard Mode) and get grades from it. After battle,
look at the report as to why you got the grade that you got.
1) Motivational Ran Away from Battle: 50 Escapes Total
- 765kg Hammer for Karol (Heavy Weight)
2) Motivational Amount of Money: Carry 1,000,000 Gald
- Slingshot for Raven (Endless Shot, Vacance, Cooking Plus)
3) Motivational Repeat An Attack: 200 Hit Combo
- Shinai for Yuri (Dragon Buster)
4) Motivational Finish a Battle: Win in 3 seconds or less
- Grilled Chicken for Repede (Lucky Call + Lucky Plus 2)
5) Motivational Number of Battles: Get into 1000 Battles or More
- Deck Brush for Judith (Temptation)
6) Motivational Deal Damage: 10,000,000 Damage Given
- Measuring Tape for Rita (Randomize + Lucky End)
7) Motivational Battle Evaluation: Get Grade, and look at the chart
- Cat Teaser for Estelle (Sleep 'n Heal)
After all of those are done, this quest is over. This is the finale.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Vesperia Job Conclusion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the Halure Tree. Scene. Rita will get Ivy Blade. Ivy Blade is Rita's
strongest weapon, not counting Fell Arms. There's only 1 part left. That's
triggered by going into the center of Dahngrest. It's a talking scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Repede, the Royal Dog
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Adventure King's Inn (North of Halure, place where you got the Giganto
prizes) Stay at the inn. Scene. Repede will learn Shining Fang. Stay at the
inn again, scene. Repede will recieve Order of the Loyal Hound and get the
title of Ultimate Dog Warrior.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Estelle, Dedicated Paramedic
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Aurnion and into the Inn. Talk to the doctor, scene. There's two other
scenes left to trigger before you get the title. It all depends on how much
Estelle has healed throughout the game. Here's a small guide to accomplish
this task fast.
1) Control Estelle. Set all of her attack to Revitalize or anything that
massively heals. Equip Risky Ring on Estelle.
2) Black Onyx on other battle members (optional, just to increase HP)
9999 HP would be great, but not needed
3) Set the 3 characters to:
Help Allies
Avoid Risk
Do Not Use
Defend
Keep Distance
Do Not Use for the last three
4) Then change the formation. Put Estelle in the front, and the other 3 on
far left/back as possible. Therefore, all the enemies concentration would
be on Estelle when the battle starts. Easy Mode
5) Exit out of Aurnion. Go to a battle that has at least 1 bunny. Using
Estelle, kill off all the enemies except the bunny.
6) Use Taunt once and keep casting Revitalize. Since we have Risky Ring on,
you can basically cast way more than needed. Every cast cost 1 TP, so
after 150 casts or so, defeat the bunny and save your game.
7) Attempt to trigger the last events in Aurnion. Go back into this process
if those scenes didn't trigger.
Scene 1 - The one stated before, inside the inn
Scene 2 - Talk to the guy standing to the lower right of the inn's entrance
Scene 3 - Just outside of the inn. May need to go to the left of the inn's
entrance and back to the entrance in order to trigger it.
Dedicated Paramedic afterwards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Estelle's Teacher Final Part, Worldly Adventurer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Aurnion, check the north, then a little to the right to find Drake. After
the scene, Estelle gets Wordly Adventurer. You may need to exit and re-enter
Aurnion to get Drake to show up. Also, Aurnion must be fully rebuilt
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Raven's Vanji Lost
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the world map and make the on screen battle into Raven. Enter Aurnion and
go north to trigger a scene. After that, Raven will learn Vanji Lost. I'm
pretty sure you need to trigger a few other events before getting this one.
Worldly Adventurer may be needed before this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Red Box
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the real Yormgen (the one near Mt. Temza) and find this red box to
the north side. It's where the inn is suppose to be at. Talk to it to trigger
a scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rita's Seeker
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of the best costumes for Rita. I know there are a few statements
floating around about what one needs to do to fight this requirement.
a) Whole Party Deals 70,000,000 damage or more
b) Rita deals over 20,000,000 worth of damage
I'll have to stick with option a because you can't really count how much damage
Rita has dealed so far. Even so, Rita is the best character to rack a lot of
damage towards the enemy. I can suggest 2 places to do this grinding process.
a) 100/200 Man Melee (Colesium)
b) Memories (Post Game)
For me, after 60,000,000 worth of damage (check your records to see this list)
before I got Seeker. Now ahead over to Halure. Once you enter Halure, keep
going to the left. Then talk to a lady standing near the fountain. She is
wearing a white robe. Seeker obtained.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recollection Guardian
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is somewhat of a long task; depending on your luck. The main reason to do
this is for Yuri's Title, Recollection Guardian.
1) Go to Dahngrest and into the right shop (not the one with the inn). You'll
notice a guard giving off "..." constantly. Talk to him to trigger an event.
2) Open the door on the right and check around inside that room for items. You
should find the following items: Stun Bracelet, Poison Ward, and
(C) F Statue
3) Go to Yumanju (Hotspring) and into the main lobby where the clerk is. Find
an old guy on the top left. Talk to him for a scene. He wants you to
collects things. The following lists where they are.
4) Three statues in Yumanju. Top left machine.
500 Gald - Toy Dispenser = (C) H Statue
500 Gald - Toy Dispenser = (C) B Statue (Same one has H Statue)
500 Gald - Toy Dispenser = (C) J Statue (Same as previous)
5) One Statue in Zaphias. Talk to Hanks in the Lower Quarter, is to the right
of the fountain. That makes 5, including the one from Dahngrest.
(C) L Statue obtained
6) Go to Nam Cobanda and into the Gym. To the north are toy dispensers again.
10 Chips - Toy Dispenser = (C) S Statue
50 Chips - Toy Dispenser = (C) I Statue
50 Chips - Toy Dispenser = (C) N Statue
100 Chips - Toy Dispenser = (C) R Statue
100 Chips - Toy Dispenser = (C) P Statue
500 Chips - Toy Dispenser = (C) M Statue
With that, you should have the following:
F - H - B - J - L - S - I - N - R - P - M
Which totals 11 Statues
7) Go back to Yumanju (Hotspring) and talk to the guy that requested these
statues. Yuri's Recollection Guardian afterwards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grade Grinding Rita
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure if my Grade Shop/Grinding FAQ will be posted or not as of right
now, so I'm just going to C/P it into here. It contains just about everything
I want to say, and I don't want to type it out again. This is quite huge btw.
One thing I do want to add though is that you'll get an achievement and maybe
even 2 titles; Get a combo of 100 and more:
20G - The Hit that Keeps On Hitting
Yuri will get the title of: Combo Master
And maybe even: King of Combos
The main concept of this method, I've learned from someone else, but I'm going
to put this in my own words. I'm not going to copy what they said and put them
here. That's copyright infringement. Besides, two different methods.
*If you feel like this is too much information, that's beacuse 25% of this
serves as an arguement of why this method works, and why this is better.
Well, like the title states. You use Rita, obviously. What else? Tidal Wave.
Both you should already have and I don't need to describe how/why. With Rita
being used, the other 3 characters don't matter. It can be anyone.
Okay, now let's talk about skills you want Rita to have. Just doing this as
I run down the list from top to bottom:
- Light Magic: Decreases TP consumption and cast time. Also decreases the
spell's power.
- Minimum Damage: Damage inflicted will be reduced to 1
- Spell End: Able to move immediately after casting a spell.
- O.L. Boost: Increases the duration of Over Limit.
- *Spirits, 2, 3, and maybe even 4: Increases Max TP by 20 - 50 - 100 - 150
If you have 999 already, then you don't need it.
- **OVL Bonus 2: Occasionally fully restores TP during Overlimit
*Not really needed if you have a Risky Ring, but Rita should be at level 50
and up. Just to be sure that you have TP to do this.
**Even though this isn't needed, I rather have this equip if it's possible.
This guarantees that you won't need to use items to recover ever again, no
matter how long you want to do this before quitting.
Here are list of weapons that you might want if you don't have the required
skills used in this method. Most of which comes from synthesis.
- Ever Blue (All) = Light Magic
- Sash +1 = Minimum Damage
- Psychedelica +1 = Spell End + Spirits 2
*Blade Drifts of Zopheir
- Nova (All) = O.L. Boost
- Ivy Blade = Spirits 4
- Sword Whip +1a = OVL Bonus 2 (and +1b)
- Lovely Cat Dictionary = Spirits 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other equipments
- Risky Ring = TP casting is now 1; This is for Rita
To get this item, trade in 111111 Chips in Nam Cobanda Isle. This is towards
the end of the game, when the final dungeon is revealed.
- (0-3) Blue Dice = Earn 20% More Grade; This is for all other characters
This is not required, but speeds up the process
1 Kow Kids final exchange/prize contain a Blue Dice
2 With a Level 4 or 5 Sorcerer's Ring, find it near the end of Keiv Moc from
burning bushes. Blue Dice is in a chest.
3 Third Encounter with Zagi gets you a Dice. Secret Mission may be required
* If you have a Dice and want to make into a Blue Dice, the material needed
synthesis is to the west of Mt. Temza's mountain areas at night.
Gentlegolem has it.
* If you do a lot of searching/grinding at the EX Dungeon in post game, you
will end up getting a lot of Dice.
Besides the Blue Dice, everything else equipped to the other 3 characters
does not matter. The same goes for Rita and Risky Ring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*NOTE: This isn't the original method. The original method was to use Wonder/
Mystic Symbol and have skills that support TP, and having Repede use items on
Rita whenever she is low on TP. However, if Rita is in Over Limit mode
already, the casting time is set to 0, so there isn't a need to reduce the
casting time any further. You can't get negative for casting. Therefore, using
Risky Ring is the better method
*It was said that Risky Ring makes it more difficult. I don't find this to be
true at all. I find it to be way more better. I got a combo over 5000 hits
without breaking. Don't tell me that's not good. You can argue the point as
much as you want. Risky Ring does work.
*Test Risky Ring first before you say anything bad about it. Pretend you're
using Wonder/Mystic Symbol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle Sequence
1) You'll be controlling Rita, so her's doesn't matter
2) For battle formations, but Rita in the very back and the other 3 characters
in the very front and surrounding her.
3) For all 3 characters set this up for them
Target: Help Allies
HP: Avoid Risk
TP: Do Not Use
Action: Defend
Position: Keep Distance
Item: Do Not Use
OVL: Do Not Use
FS: Do Not Use
*The key into all of this, is "Defend"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artes
Set Tidal Wave for all the commands. This is the only spell you should be
spamming. To kill them, when you want to quit, use FS. You don't have to use
FS, you just get more grade and you don't have to do with some other person.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Random Battles
I'm going to stick with the same area mentioned by the creator. That is the
area outside of Halure during night time. You'll run in this hog/pig that
has yellow ears with body of purple. Get into a battle with 4 of them.
*Honestly, this works with 3 monsters as well.
*It has been said that you need to link encounter with 6 enemies and up.
That's because they wanted to fill the OL bar to level 3 or 4. For this
method, I don't need 3 or 4, level 1 is good enough. Level 3 and 4 makes it
so that the TP cost of all spell is 0. TP isn't an issue if I'm using the
Risky Ring. Level 3/4 doesn't make me cast Tidal Wave any faster.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficulty Setting
Set the difficulty to Hard or if you can, Unknown. Setting it on higher
difficulties will give you a bonus for grades at the end. 1.5x more Grade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Preparation
Before going into battle, increase your OL to at least level 1.
IF you do enter the battle without level 1, use a Limit Bottle with someone
else besides Rita. So that you can OL with Rita ASAP.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Actual Grade Grinding Process
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With everything else that is stated previously and taken into consideration,
you should be using Rita with Tidal Wave set up. Encounter the battle with
the 4 Warhogs.
1) As soon as the battle starts, double check to see that the Battle Sequence
is indeed turned on and working.
2) Over Limit Rita and cast Tidal Wave constantly.
3) If the Over Limit Bar is about to run out, keep on hitting the Over Limit
button to make sure that Rita stay in Over Limit form.
4) The purpose of this isn't to get a nice long combo. It's to get a good
FS chain going. As long as you see Chain ####, that's good enough. Even
if you get constant Chains of 10, break, Chain 10, break, that still
counts. All we want is FS Chains and they'll accumulate. Breaking any
chains will not concern you in getting more Grade. This is the key
concept of getting Grades from this battle, FS Chaining
*You can of course, attempt to get a nice long combo which isn't related
into getting more grade. I've managed to pull a combo of 5535, but that
does take over 30 minutes non-stop. The reason that it broke was because
I accidently triggers a Burste Arte by actually holding it down.
*Combo of 999 also gives you a small amount of Grade. Isn't needed.
5) What does concern you in regards of how much Grade you get, depends on
how long you do it before quitting, and saving. I suggest no more than
20 minutes. You could be doing this for 40 minutes straight or longer
and get grades equal or worse than if you stopped at 15 minutes.
*Prepare to listen to the following:
Tidal Wave, Blah Blah Blah, Tidal Wave, I'm so going to make you
Blah Blah Blah, Tidal Wave Blah Blah Blah, Tidal Wave...
6) I suggest any where from 8 to 20 minutes per session before stopping.
7) When you think you're done. FS the enemies after casting Tidal Wave.
If you don't want to, you always have your AI partners destroy them for
you, but you would need to mess with their stuff, and taking damage in
battle also gives you a deduction in Grade. Your choice.
*Using Burste Arte/Mystic Artes works just as well. You do get grade for
using them in battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*NOTE: To get one of Judith's Costumes (Sky), it's required to get 1000
FS Chains. So really, you're just killing two birds with 1 stone.
After the battle, don't expect too much. The grade that you get can range
from 700 to 2500+. Doing it for 20 minutes, usually gets you around 1300~
or so. But sometimes, you will get more or less. This process flucuates,
so there isn't a guarantee of how much grade you'll get.
Do this for an hour or so, then go to Cobanda to check your overall Grade.
Aim to get 18,450 Grades. This can take about 2 to 4 hours, but it's
proven to the fastest method.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, that may look like a lot stuff to do and quite frankly it is. I'll try
my best to explain how the whole process works.
* The fastest way to do this, is to go to Aurnion. Cook, use the inn to rest,
cook, repeat. Buy recepies when needed.
1) Taken into account that you've picked up all recepies so far, you have the
potential to finish this. If you miss even one of these, you won't be able
to finish the process. Do this in EX New Game.
2) Follow this chart to unlock every single recepie left, except for one:
Estelle - Sandwich -> * Rice Ball
Yuri - Riceball -> * Beef Bowl
Karol - Beef Bowl -> * Omelette Rice
Karol - Omelette Rice -> Meat Sauce
Raven - Beef Bowl -> Pork Stew
Judith - Pork Stew -> Japanese Stew
Judith - Japanese Stew -> Sukiyaki
Estelle - Vichyssoise -> Pork Miso Soup
Yuri - Pork Miso Soup -> Udon Noodles Hot Pot
Raven - Salad -> Sashimi
Karol - Sashimi -> Sushi
Estelle - Fried Chicken and Fries - > Scottish Egg
Raven - Scottish Egg -> Okonomiyaki
Judith - Croquette -> Tempura
Estelle - Minestrone Soup -> Miso Soup
Estelle - Miso Soup -> Clam Showder
Rita - Salad -> Vegetable Stir Fry
Raven - Vegetable Stir Fry -> Soup Noodles
Yuri - Sorbet -> Pudding
Yuri - Pudding -> Cake
Rita - Crepe -> Fruit Parfait
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of these are correct, and they're tested and proven by me personally.
The chances of them creating these recepies are very random. You'll just
have to keep at it until you get it. It does NOT matter if you already
have that character Master that recepie or not. Even if you do, they can
still create that recepie. I have seen that done 4 times so far. So it's
really not that rare.
3) Now that all the recepies are now unlocked, pick one character to master
all of them. Lets pick.. Judith. Have Judith master every single one of
those recepies that you currently have. It goes like this:
1 Star
2 Star
3 Star
MASTERED
4) So you now have it all mastered. Good. Go to Nordopolica. To the right
side of the docks you'll find Wonder Chef in his original form. Talk to him,
scene. You'll get Mabo Curry. Get Judith to master Mabo Curry.
5) Now go to Dahngrest. Save game, once you do this, you can't redo this part
again. Near the west entrance, go talk to the guy standing outside of the
cooking coliseum. Scene. Pick Judith, since she has mastered everything.
She will win the battle. If you pick anyone else that hasn't matered every
single recepie, you'll lose.
6) If you win that event, Judith will get that title for cooking.
After that event, one more chat. Then you'll get titles for everyone. Yes,
just by winning that event, everyone is rewarded with Cooking Titles,
regardless if they have anything mastered. It's as follows.
Yuri - Commoner Chef
Estelle - Cordon Bleu
Karol - Guild Chef
Rita - Chemical Chef
Raven - Weekend Chef
Judith - Chef Mom
* Great Skit Afterwards
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 Man Melee (Colesium)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This place already opened a long time ago, but in order to get to the 100 man
part, you'll need all the Challenge Letters. Ctrl + F + Challenge to find out
how to obtain all 3 Challenge Letters. These are the three:
(L. Claw) = Leviath's Claw - From Gauche and Droite
(Flynn's) = Flynn - Aurnion
(Hunting Blades) = Keiv Moc - From Nan
Now, you're read to start. Start with the lowest one and work yourself up.
If you decide to jump to 100 already, that won't work. The recepionist will
tell you the reason why. So in other words, you'll have to go in this order:
1) Thirty Man Melee - 3,000 Gald
2) Fifty Man Melee - 5,000 Gald
3) Eighty Man Melee - 8,000 Gald
4) Hundred Man Melee - 10,000 Gald <-- Aim for this one
A Few Tips:
With what we've done so far, if you actually followed every step so far, your
level should make this thing very easy. I am playing on Easy Mode btw. You
really don't need to train for this.
The only thing that I do suggest you equip is Miracle Bangle. Since each kill
during battle will restore a good amount of HP/MP. I would have to say Raven
is the hardest character to win these Melee battles with. Spamming OL and doing
attacks works, I guess.
Here are some spoilers, so don't read this if you don't know who's in the
melee:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Adecor - After 28 Enemies Defeated
Boccos - After 28 Enemies Defeated
Nan - After 41 Enemies Defeated
Tison - After 63 Enemies Defeated
Gauche - After 89 Enemies Defeated
Droite - After 89 Enemies Defeated
Flynn - After 92 Enemies Defeated (For Yuri Only)
.
.
.
.

.
.
Win the 100 Man Melee 3 times in order for Estelle to get a title. Like
normal,
I picked Yuri for the first round. Then I picked Rita and Estelle for the other
2 wins. You can pick anyone else you want. Rita has to be the easiest character
to use to cruise through this thing fast. With Estelle, I just combo/melee'd
my way through.
Prizes for first time winning the 100 Man Melee:
Yuri - 20000 Gald
Star Mail
Colossus
Rita - 20000 Gald
Elemental Goggle
Sacred Chain
Estelle - "Magical Maiden" Title
20000 Gald
Imperial Guard
Santuary
Comet Light
Star Light
Judith - "Moonlight Talon" Base Arte
20000 Gald
Dragon Coat
Cadueus

Too Much Free Time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know about you, but as I reach this point, I've just racket about
100 hours in playing time. Which gives me the achievement "Too Much Free Time".
Yes, I do have a lot of free time, thank you very much.
* Too Much Free Time = 20 G
"100 hours. Almost 4 whole days. Your journey will continue for as long as
you want..."
* Now time to move on since most of the sidequests doable are done. Head to
Tarqaron. If you forgot where that is, it's where Aspio was once was.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ancient Tower - "Tarqaron"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you've done the Rebuilding/Restoring Aurnion process before, you know we
have been here before. This time, let's finish this place. Like before, I'm
not going to bother with telling you, go left, go right. How about a map?
Sounds good right? Good. I'll add comments every now and again. Just 1 thing
though. You'll have to start at the bottom and work your way to the top. In
the future, I might re-organize it. Just maybe. But for now, just think of it
as following the flow.
On the upper right part of each section is a footnote. P1 = Part 1. The Parts
go from P1 to P11. P11 is where the dungeon ends at. However there is a extra
part. I call it E. E1 = Extra 1. The extras will start below the P1 and then
it will work down. "Just pay attention to the footnotes and you won't be
confused, too much."
X1, X2... XC = are exit and entry points
c = crstals that you should SR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(P11)
XD
|
L7--- ---R7 XD = Ends the game, point of, aka "Point Of No Return"
| R7 = You'll have to do the second part to unlock it
XC L7 = Unlocks the left teleporters on the left
If you decide to head over to XD without doing the extra section, scroll down
to the part labeled "Final Boss" to continue with this guide. However, if you
decide to do the extra section, that is below (P1).

This is the Dark Cave Area. The legends/keys tells you want to do first and
continue. Or, you can just ignore all the chests and just do S1, S2, S3...
all the way to S11. Just think of (S#) as stones that you should SR them.
You only need to SR them once. SRing some other stone won't effect any other
(S#). SRing them will only change the landscape.
*(S9) and B-(S2) are connected on a horizonatal path. I just didn't feel like
redrawing the whole damn thing and making them equal in paths.

Boss Battle #24 = BB1
All I did for this battle was guard until he uses Blastia Bane. Once he does
attack him. You need to let him use that attack enough times until he's tired
out. Meaning after he uses BB, his head will look down. This can take a while
because it's like how the SM for Alexie is. After that, just comboing him to
death. This is secret mission 22. I suggest saving afterwards
Grab the chests and you might want to go back to save, since the next save
point is a long way off. Then head into XA.

you can push them a 2nd time to get it in. Not sure if there's a 3rd time.

If you have collected all previous Fell Arms which totals 5 so far, make sure
you save before doing this part. This serves as a backup plan. You may need
this backup save just in case you're struggling later on. Don't ask why, just
have an extra before doing this Extra Section.
As you can see, the map above is showing the Dark Cave. Once you've SR the 2

*NOTE. If you leave Tarqaron right now, that will trigger a scene. OR you can
just head over to the final stages and fight the final boss. Let's say that
you want this extention, then you should keep reading this part. Okay, we
now have the 7 Fell Arms. If you don't, you can't do this extention. Go to
Aurnion to trigger another scene. After that, use the teleporters to get back
to the last Save Point and save your game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Boss
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you probably know by now who the last boss will be. No strategy for this
battle, but there is a Secret Mission for this. I guess you should read this
part after you've played through him and won, or died.
* SPOILERS *
.
.
.
The Secret Mission lies in Duke's 2nd Form. It's quite simple really. You
just have to kill Duke with a Mystic Arte. Like before, you need to max your
OL bar first. Then Duke's HP until he has about 35K or less. I used Yuri to
do this.
What I did was equip Hit Plus as well (it let's you do extra hits when
performing Yuri's Mystic Arte). When I see 60K or less (use Magic Lens
to check his stats, and then R1 to check it again), I go into Lv. 4 Limit
OL. Then keep on using normal attacks until you see 30K or so, perform a
Arcane Arte (like Dragon Swarm) and then activate Mystic Arte. While he's
doing all the attacks, keep on tapping that button for extra hits.
By doing that, after the battle, you'll get the Secret Mission, plus one
of Yuri's top tier weapons, Last Fencer.

* SPOILERS #2 *
Depending on who your controlling character is during battle (set to leader),
each one will give a different dialogue after you defeat Duke's First Form.
I don't know if there's one for Repede or not. It would be quite funny if
there was one.

* SPOILERS #3 * If you did the Fell Arm's Ending Extention
.
.
.
If you decided to get all 7 Fell Arms and travel back to Aurnion to trigger
the scene with Flynn, after you defeat the 2nd Form of Duke, you'll get
another form. Duke's 3rd and Final Form. Even set on easy, this guy is
hard. Only level 140+ can make this walk in the park. If you find this hard,
hope you have that spair save which I said before. If not, you're stuck with
trying to defeat this guy.
Duke's Third Form
He has two ultimate attacks. Big Bang and Brave Vesperia. Equip your best
skills and stock up on a lot of Life Bottles, Specific, and Treats. A good
enough strategy is get into Lv 1 OL and use normal attacks on him. By the
time that OL drive ends, you should probably would've got another bar.
Big Bang reduces everyone's HP to 1, but Brave Vesperia actually kills.
Don't be surprised if only 1 is left standing after he uses it. BV is
rarely used, at least when compared to BB.
A cheaper method would be to have most people in Defend mode, control Rita
and spam Tidal Wave and/or Meteor Storm. Really cheap when done in OL mode.
Rita, the Broken, wins again.
After you finish the 3rd form, all the fell arms are fully unlocked. They
will now get an extended name with their original name included as well.
Their attack power and magical attack power is based on the number of
enemies that character has killed so far.
The sad thing about this is that once you restart the game (EX New Game),
the Fell Arms will stay unlocked, but the kill counter will reset to 0. This
has been fully tested by many, including me.

* END SPOLIERS *
Good luck with the last boss, and enjoy the ending.
You have just finished the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post Game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After finishing the game, you are prompt to save your game. Do so. There are
two paths you can take.
1) Continue to EX New Game (Read the Grade FAQ)
OR
2) Reload that last save (Star'd) and do the extra features
For now, let's say we stick with option number 2. Quite simple. Just load your
Star'd save and you would be back at Tarqaron's last save point. Now you may
think "What else is there to do?" or "We're doing Memories, right?" Yes,
we're doing Memories.
*NOTE. You can constantly get more Last Fencers from doing Secret Mission 23
over and over again. Why you want to do this is not about reasoning, it's
just to see how a great weapon can be grinded. If you made the Last Fencer
through synthesis, I feel sorry for you. I gathered all the Gems up, then
I read about getting it from SM 23. Therefore, I didn't use those Gems.
Here's the jist and the rest will be added in the future. So expect a lot more
detailed text then this. This is just a quick summary of what you can do.
1) Assuming you've done the EX Dungeon Unlocking Part 1, go to Phareoh's Craig
and talk to the sage.
2) Enter Dahngrest from the right side to trigger an event
3) Go to an area south of Yumanju (Hotspring) to find the portal.
4) Get enough Fake Gald to fight the final boss
5) Go to the coliseum and finish the 200 Man Melee
*) There are many titles and attachments that you can do. Even though you can
not carry over Key Items (aka Valuables), you can still carry over
Attachments (for some reason). Read the Rita Grade Farming section if you
didn't get everything that you wanted. Remember the magic number, 18450.
